Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

when it detects an imminent failure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This message can be reported by an ATAPI device using

 

 

 

 

 

 

the S.M.A.R.T. error reporting standard. S.M.A.R.T.

 

 

 

 

 

 

failure messages may indicate the need to replace the

 

 

 

 

 

 

hard disk.

Description

 

 

 

BootSector Write !!

 

The BIOS has detected software attempting to write to a

 

 

 

 

 

 

drive’s boot sector. This is flagged as possible virus

 

 

 

 

 

 

activity. This message will only be displayed if Virus

 

 

 

 

 

 

Detection is enabled in AMIBIOS setup.

 

 

 

VIRUS: Continue (Y/N)?

 

If the BIOS detects possible virus activity, it will prompt

 

 

 

 

 

 

the user. This message will only be displayed if Virus

 

 

 

 

 

 

Detection is enabled in AMIBIOS setup.

Description

 

 

 

DMA-2 Error

 

Error initializing secondary DMA controller. This is a fatal

 

 

 

 

 

 

error, often indication a problem with system hardware.

 

 

 

DMA Controller Error

 

POST error while trying to initialize the DMA controller.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a fatal error, often indication a problem with

 

 

 

 

 

 

system hardware.

 

 

 

Checking NVRAM..Update Failed

 

BIOS could not write to the NVRAM block. This message

 

 

 

 

 

 

appears when the FLASH part is write-protected or if

 

 

 

 

 

 

there is no FLASH part (System uses a PROM or

 

 

 

 

 

 

EPROM).

 

 

 

Microcode Error

 

BIOS could not find or load the CPU Microcode Update

 

 

 

 

 

 

to the CPU. This message only applies to INTEL CPUs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The message is most likely to appear when a brand new

 

 

 

 

 

 

CPU is installed in a motherboard with an outdated

 

 

 

 

 

 

BIOS. In this case, the BIOS must be updated to include

 

 

 

 

 

 

the Microcode Update for the new CPU.

 

 

 

NVRAM Checksum Bad, NVRAM Cleared

 

There was an error in while validating the NVRAM data.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This causes POST to clear the NVRAM data.

 

 

 

Resource Conflict

 

More than one system device is trying to use the same

 

 

 

 

 

 

non-shareable resources (Memory or I/O).

 

 

 

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
