Windows 7 Windows 7 Fatal error problem

[Apes2grapes]

I have an HP Compaq dc5000 sff. I clean fresh installed windows 7 professional. Whenever I reboot or shut down and turn back on; just before the os boots, it stops and prompts, "FATAL ERROR: Failed To Locate Necessary Table(s) To Make Adjustments. Press Any Key To Continue Booting". After I press a key, it continues a normal boot and I can go on using the computer as normal.

Various forums explained to try:

1) windows 7 installation disc's start-up repair option
"Tried it, didn't find any problem."

2) cmd prompt - sfc/scannow
"Tried it, didn't find any problem."

3) reinstalling windows 7
"Tried it, still have the problem."

4) replacing the cmos battery and resetting cmos
"Tried it, still have the problem."

I'm currently out of options. This is really bugging me. Can anyone help?

A friend of mine who's an IT tech for a company in NY, just told me to update the bios....but I dont know....im always sketchy about updating bios on any computer.

Ima go back to the hp website....I might have downloaded the wrong driver.

It looks to me like that 5000 Small Form Factor is pretty old. The drivers I'm seeing, including the BIOS looks like from 2005 or earlier.
You may be stuck with actually seeking the drivers from the actual device manufacturer, by identifying the individual components using device manager, properties, details tab, Hardware Ids and then using google to find them.
In the case of Intel products you might have some luck with the driver update utility from here Link Removed
But you may be forced to actually use there download center after identifying the individual device.

Thanks for your help Trouble. I will look for the drivers directly from the manufacturer.
