Hello!

When I switch on my Compaq 420 the screen auto starts without me pushing the power switch and then restarts after a few seconds to be presented with this error message :

Memory Size changed:System Reboot
A system bios recovery has occurred
Bios Recovery (500)

After that it restarts again and shows the grub menu as usual multiboot(linuxmint18.2 and edu-ubuntu 14.4). After that there does not seem to be any problem except runs a bit slow.

There is no provision to install HP Support assistant for eduubuntu/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.

Something like this happened to me awhile back and it turned out to be a loose memory. I had to remove the memory and reseat it in the slots. This fixed the problem.
I don't know if this is your problem or not, but it is worth a try.
