IBM Embedded Security Problem

I have an IBM Netvista computer, upon startup it displays
Security hardware error) ... 193 (IBM embedded security hardware removed

I have tried re-flashing the BIOS and clearing the CMOS settings but this has not helped, and the only way to startup my computer is to Continue on the error and scroll down to exit setup in the BIOS setup. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thankyou David, I really can't afford a new board at the moment, so I found a semi-solution (maybe IBM's security isn't so good!) I went into the bios
Start Options
Startup Sequence
Error Startup Seqruence [DISABLED]
I changed this to [PRIMARY] and the system now continues a normal boot after 5 seconds every time I start up.
