applies to INTEL CPUs. The message is most likely to appear when a brand new CPU is

 

 

installed in a motherboard with an outdated BIOS. In this case, the BIOS must be updated

 

 

to include the Microcode Update for the new CPU.

 

 

 

 

NVRAM

There was an error in while validating the NVRAM data. This causes POST to clear the

Resource

More than one system device is trying to use the same non-shareable resources (Memory

 

Conflict

or I/O).

 

 

 

 

NVRAM

The NVRAM data used to store Plug??n??Play (PnP) data was not used for system

 

Ignored

configuration in POST.

 

 

 

 

NVRAM Bad

The NVRAM data used to store Plug??n??Play (PnP) data was not used for system

PCI IRQ

BIOS POST (DIM code) found a PCI device in the system but was unable to figure out how

the PCI Interrupt Routing of the system.

 

 

 

 

Timer Error

Indicates an error while programming the count register of channel 2 of the 8254 timer.

 

 

This may indicate a problem with system hardware.
