POST Error Message Table

The following table shows error messages that might appear on the screen during the power-on self-test (POST).

Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors. In this case, the system displays more than one error message. Always follow the suggested action instructions for the first error message that appears.

POST error codes are also written to the PS/2-standard logging area in the Extended BIOS Data Area.
