It is unusual to see this message pop up all of a sudden. You may want to check your warranty. Some retail stores offer longer warranty.
Did you recently try to update the bios?
Was there a power surge due to an electrical storm?
Did it show up after a Windows update of some time?
Did you add a new device to the motherboard or open the case up?
Unplug from wall, press the on button 2-3 times to discharge any residual power, Turn back on and press the ESC key and try to run diagnostics for one pass.
What is your product ID?
