POST Codes and Error Messages

The following table defines POST error codes and their associated messages. The BIOS prompts the user to press a key in case of a serious error. Some error messages are preceded by the string "Error” to highlight that the system might be malfunctioning. All POST errors and warnings are logged in the system event log unless it is full.
