Error Message

Explanation

 

 

 

On Board Parity Error

A parity error occurred in onboard memory. This error is followed

 

by an address.

 

 

 

Parity Error

A parity error occurred in onboard memory at an unknown

 

address.

 

 

 

NVRAM / CMOS / PASSWORD

NVRAM, CMOS, and passwords have been cleared. The system

cleared by Jumper

should be powered down and the jumper removed.

 

 

 

<CTRL_N> Pressed

CMOS is ignored and NVRAM is cleared. User must enter Setup.

 

 

 

BIOS POST Beep Codes

The table below lists the POST error beep codes. Prior to system video initialization, the BIOS uses these beep codes to inform users of error conditions. The beep code occurs only when a critical error occurs or when the BIOS fails to boot to the operating system. Please note that not all error conditions are supported by BIOS beep codes.
