Error Messages

A possible system board failure has occurred.

Some other failure has occurred.

System is in Recovery Mode

Boot hand off

•Disconnect all internal and external peripherals, and re-start the computer. If the computer boots, add the peripheral cards back one by one until you find the bad one.

•If the problem persists, the system board is faulty.

•Ensure that the display/monitor is plugged into a discrete graphic card.

•Ensure that all hard drives and optical-drive cables are properly connected to the system board.

•If there is an error message on the screen identifying a problem with a device (such as the floppy drive or hard drive), check the device to make sure it is functioning properly.

•If the operating system is attempting to boot from a device (such as the floppy drive or optical drive), check system setup to ensure the boot sequence is correct for the devices installed on your computer.

•BIOS checksum failure was detected and the system is now in recovery mode.

•Indicates end of POST process. LEDs are normally in this state briefly as POST completes. Once the hand-off to the operating system is done, the LEDs turn off .

There are two types of BIOS error messages that are displayed depending on the severity of the issue. They are:

Errors That Do Not Halt Your Computer

These error messages will not halt your computer, but will display a warning message, pause for a few seconds, and then continue to boot. The following table lists the error messages.
