This error can be caused by any of the following:

1. Incorrectly configured BIOS settings, caused by flashing the BIOS or by
user inexperience.
2. Turning off the computer without shutting down Windows; this can corrupt
the BIOS.
3. Password cracking software that you have allowed onto your computer. For
details, see here:

The BIOS cannot be corrupted by turning off the computer no matter what is
running or loaded. How did you come to the conclusion that shutting off the
computer without shutting down Windows can cause corruption?
