Error message

Description

1

Refresh Failure

The memory refresh circuitry on the

 

 

 

motherboard is faulty.

2

Parity Error

A parity error was detected in the base

 

 

 

memory (the first 64 KB block) of the

 

 

 

system.

3

Base 64 KB Memory Failure

A memory failure occurred within the

 

 

 

first 64 KB of memory.

4

Timer Not

Operational

A memory failure was detected in the

 

 

 

first 64 KB of memory, or Timer 1 is

 

 

 

not functioning.

5

Processor

Error

The CPU on the system board
