Bios error 105 unsupported wireless card.

Looks like the guys at HP support forums couldn't help you.

Let's take a look here...sounds like a BIOS infection or you may just need to flash your BIOS...but let's start with this...

Download the OTLPE Standard REATOGO Windows Recovery Environment.

• Place a blank CD-R disc in to your CD burning drive.
• Download OTLPEStd.exe and double-click on it to burn to a CD using ISO Burner.
• Reboot your system using the boot CD you just created.
  
  Note : If you do not know how to set your computer to boot from CD follow the steps here
  
• Your system should now display a REATOGO-X-PE desktop.
  
• Double-click on the OTLPE icon.
  
• When asked "Do you wish to load the remote registry", select Yes
  
• When asked "Do you wish to load remote user profile(s) for scanning", select Yes
  
• Ensure the box "Automatically Load All Remaining Users" is checked and press OK
  
• OTL should now start. Change the following settings
  • Change Drivers to Non-Microsoft
    
  • Press Run Scan to start the scan.
    
  • When finished, the file will be saved in drive C:\_OTL\MovedFiles
    
  • Copy this file to your USB drive if you do not have internet connection on this system
    
  • Please post the contents of the OTL.txt file in your reply.

Most errors during POST have to do with improperly configured operating systems, there is a short in the electrical/system board, or NTLDR is corrupted.

Need more information before I make the correct recommendation...

1. Can you enter the BIOS?

2. Has the BIOS ever been upgraded?

3. By can't boot from CD or hard drive, do you mean this error is preventing you from continuing with either one?

4. Have you thought about getting the CMOS battery replaced? POST error code 105 is a CMOS error.

5. Have you heard any beeps coming from the system? Are they in a specific pattern? How many beeps?

6. Has the computer been subject to a virus/malware infection over the past six months? Have new Microsoft Updates been installed after the malware was removed? Any messages in the operating system before this event occurred?


POST error 105 have to do with the CMOS, which error codes 100-199 are system board codes. So, it has to do with your motherboard, at the very least. Why it is throwing out "unsupported wireless card" is beyond me, but it depends if the network card acquired the date automatically and cannot acquire it because the CMOS battery could be dead.

So, answer those questions real quick. It'll help me find the best solution, so you don't have to waste money/time.

I think the CMOS battery will have to be replaced first, which isn't that bad of a task.

Right. Removing the battery resets the settings. If the battery gets changed to a new one, it should help the system store the settings.

If the system keeps resetting its settings, it won't configure the network card correctly.

Do you have WiFi Catcher turned on? It is usually in the BIOS, but not everyone can access their network card settings. Let me know if you see that.

Also, I need to know what your make and model is for your notebook so I can see how the jumpers work on your board.

What's your current boot process?

You should have hard drive first, and it should make the computer boot from the hard drive.
