Operating system not found
An operating system cannot be located either on a system diskette or on a hard disk. Start BIOS Setup and check that the diskette and/or hard disk drives are specified correctly.
Parity check 1 xxxx or Parity check 2 xxxx
Parity error found on the system (1) or I/O (2) bus. The BIOS attempts to locate and display the address xxxx. If it cannot locate the address, it displays “????”.
Previous boot incomplete - default configuration used
The previous POST did not complete successfully. POST loads default values and offers to start BIOS Setup. If the failure was caused by incorrect values and they are not corrected, the next boot will likely fail too.
Real-time clock error
Enter BIOS Setup and check the System Time and System Date settings on the Main menu.
System battery is dead - replace and run Setup
Replace the configuration battery as instructed in the previous chapter, then use BIOS Setup to reconfigure the system.
System cache error - cache disabled
The RAM cache failed POST and BIOS disabled it.
System CMOS checksum bad - run Setup
System CMOS has been corrupted or modified incorrectly, perhaps by an application program that changes data stored in CMOS. Run BIOS Setup and reconfigure the system
#+%#either bygetting the default valuesor by making your own selections.
There are several POST routines that shut down the computer if they fail. If possible, the BIOS sounds a sequence of beeps to identify the point at which POST failed. The most usual errors are listed below.
The BIOS also issues one long tone followed by two short tones if the video system is faulty or if an external ROM module fails.
Turn off the computer for 30 seconds and then try again. If the fault persists, make a note of the errorcode (if any)'and call"your supplier or authorised maintainer.
