Product: HP Pavilion Desktop - 570-p017c
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Recently, the Lubin system board BIOS on my Pavilion Desktop 570-p017c acted a little fuzzy. First, all of my system info was cleared out of its memory and its "Manufacturing Product Mode" had been set to Unlock.  Luckily for me, thanks to the BIOS Configuration Utility, I returned the MPM setting to Lock, then was able to input my system info back into the BIOS setup utility.

 

Now, however, I'm unable to solve a problem to the message that I'm now currently seeing everytime I boot up my PC:

 

"The following product information programmed into the system board is missing or invalid.
System Board (00A) - System Board CT Number"

 

(Although bypassing it using any key on my keyboard, to my surprise, allows the normal booting sequence to continue and I can access Windows 10 from there)

 

All this may have occured as a result of what I believed to be a virus modhack. I've seen many solutions to fix this, but they're exclusively for notebooks; I've not seen a BIOS problem on any of my own, yet.  I have the latest BIOS version installed onto the system board.  Is there any way that I can get the CT number back into the BIOS's memory?
