Problem : 0253: EFI Variable block data was destroyed
I have a Dell Studio 1745 64-bit system running Windows 7.  I have started getting this message.  No other information.  I don’t always get it on start up.  My choices are then to Press F1 to skip or F2 to go to Setup.

googling turns out BIOS issues.
You can try flushing the BIOS (turn PC off (electric power out) and  then take the battery out + wait a minute before putting it back on).
See how it goes..
