It sounds like your BIOS has detected an internal checksum error. Virus or stray gamma ray particle may have caused it.
Most BIOSes have an Emergency Boot Block BIOS restore procedure.
I have only done it using a floppy.
Two more alternatives: There is a hot-swap technique for re burning a bad BIOS (not recommended but I have done it a few times.) or buying/getting a new BIOS chip.
First try disconnecting the card reader.
