Hi, need help, my son was playing a game on my pc and called me in to see that there was a blank screen with pink vertical lines through it. Can't get much info out of him as he is only 4. I did a restart by pressing the button on the front as I didn't know what else to do. Now getting a screen that says

DEL:Setup F11:Boot Menu F12:Network Boot
Cache Memory Error

Press F1 to run SETUP
Press F2 to load default values and continue

I pressed F1 which took me into the BIOS setup screen, loaded the default BIOS settings, and saved and exited, then was faced with same screen...Cache memory error...etc.
I then tried F2 which gave me same screen practically...

DEL:Setup F11:Boot menu F12:Network menu

Cache memory error
Run SETUP
Press F1 to resume


I then press F1 and get a blank black screen with a tiny flashing horizontal line in the top right corner....and that's it ....nothing!

Please help I am no tech expert and have no idea what this means

This is a hardware problem, if the computer is still under warranty call the manufacturer and get them to service it. Processors have a small amount of very fast memory, commonly referred as L1 or L2 cache, the error most likely means that this super fast memory isn't working properly. The processor may need to be replaced but that will have to be determined by a competent hardware technician.
