Help computer Boffin needed

My ageing Toshiba is playing up and takes ages to boot up.
When it does finally boot up comes up with this message:
0280: previous boot incomplete -default configuration used. Press F1 to start

Anyone got any clues what the problem is?

Running a full scan ATM to see if any viruses etc

Buy a new one - not worth getting it fixed. Officeworks has them from about $350. Still be better than your ageing machine.
