Write down the exact error message and post it.
Also see if it's on This list (http://www.pcguide.com/ts/x/sys/booterr-i.htm) from the PC Guide Troubleshooting section.
Static conflict sound slike maybe static resource conflict.
ROM is related to Read Only Memory, such as the CMOS chip, keyboard controller or video BIOS chip. (also a CMOS chip)
