Post Error Codes and Messages

Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, BIOS displays a message on the video display screen and causes the speaker to beep as the message appears. BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone followed by two short tones) during POST if the video configuration fails or if an external ROM module does not a checksum of zero. The BIOS indicates errors by writing an error code to the PS/2-standard logging area in the Extended BIOS Data Area, and by displaying a message on the screen, which is sometimes preceded by the POST Error Code. The error code will also be logged to the Event Logging area.

Note: Your system error log will be lost, if your system ac power source is off or disconnected.

Table 5-3 POST Error Codes and Messages is a list of the error codes and messages written at the start of each POST test. Table 5-4 POST Error Beep Codes is a list of beep codes issued for each POST test. The devices associated with the POST error codes are shown in subsection POST Error Code Hardware References that follow.
