Most likely the BIOS (the intial system setup for the I/O) sees a conflict between two devices. Have you added or removed any hardware lately, such as a serial or parallel port card, etc?? If so that is the problem. You can go into the setup (F2) and it may show you what device or address is the problem. In those cases you may be able to change the address of one of the devices so they do not conflict.
One word of caution, the BIOS is critical to the PC operating and if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, it's worth the $$ to take it to a qualified tech.
If you still have the original manual for the PC, many manufacturers list the original BIOS settings and you can compare what you have with the original settings, or have them on their web site.
