Intel Desktop Board DH67GD reports POST errors in two ways:

By sounding a beep code and blinking the front panel power LED

By displaying an error message on the monitor

BIOS Error Codes

Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, the BIOS causes the board’s speaker to beep and the front panel power LED to blink an error message indicating the problem (see Table 16).
