Notebook Operating System and Recovery

Hello!

When I switch on my Compaq 420 the screen remains blank and then restarts after a few seconds to be presented with this error message : A system bios recovery has occurred Error 500.

There is no provision to install Support assistant for linuxmint as the .exe files would not go AND I WANT TO INSTALL IT for the better. Kindly guide me how to do it in linux?

Pl. help me with some way so I do not get this message.Also i am not sure whether to update/reinstallBIOS and if it that critical as i am able to use my notebook after booting up.
