CHAPTER 6: Troubleshooting
NVRAM Ignored
The NVRAM data used to store Plug’n’Play (PnP) data was not used for system configuration in POST.
NVRAM Bad
The NVRAM data used to store Plug’n’Play (PnP) data was not used for system configuration in POST due to a data error.
Static Resource Conflict
Two or more Static Devices are trying to use the same resource space (usually Memory or I/O).
PCI I/O conflict
A PCI adapter generated an I/O resource conflict when configured by BIOS POST.
PCI ROM conflict
A PCI adapter generated an I/O resource conflict when configured by BIOS POST.
PCI IRQ conflict
A PCI adapter generated an I/O resource conflict when configured by BIOS POST.
PCI IRQ routing table error
BIOS POST (DIM code) found a PCI device in the system but was unable to figure out how to route an IRQ to the device. Usually this error is causing by an incomplete description of 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.
Interrupt
BIOS POST could not initialize the Master Interrupt Controller. This may indicate a problem with system hardware.
Interrupt
BIOS POST could not initialize the Slave Interrupt Controller. This may indicate a problem with system hardware.
CMOS messages
CMOS Date/Time Not Set
The CMOS Date and/or Time are invalid. This error can be resolved by readjusting the system time in AMIBIOS Setup.
CMOS Battery Low
CMOS Battery is low. This message usually indicates that the CMOS battery needs to be replaced. It could also appear when the user intentionally discharges the CMOS battery.
CMOS Settings Wrong
CMOS settings are invalid. This error can be resolved by using AMIBIOS Setup.
CMOS Checksum Bad
CMOS contents failed the Checksum check. Indicates that the CMOS data has been changed by a program other than the BIOS or that the CMOS is not retaining its data due to malfunction. This error can typically be resolved by using AMIBIOS Setup.
