Extended memory not working or not configured
properly at offset nnnn.
The CMOS clock battery indicator shows the
battery is dead. Replace the battery and run
Setup to reconfigure the system.
System CMOS has been corrupted or modified
incorrectly, perhaps by an application program
that changes data stored in CMOS. The BIOS
installed Default Setup Values. If you do not want
these values, enter Setup and enter your own
values. If the error persists, check the system
battery or contact your dealer.
The timer test failed. Requires repair of system
board.
Real-Time Clock fails BIOS hardware test. May
require board repair.
BIOS found date or time out of range and reset
the Real-Time Clock. May require setting legal
date (1991-2099).
Previous POST did not complete successfully. POST
loads default values and offers to run Setup. If
the failure was caused by incorrect values and
they are not corrected, the next boot will likely
fail. On systems with control of wait states,
improper Setup settings can also terminate POST
and cause this error on the next boot. Run Setup
and verify that the wait-state configuration is
correct. This error is cleared the next time the
system is booted.
Memory size found by POST differed from CMOS.
Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS POST
diskette tests. Check to see that the drive is
defined with the proper diskette type in Setup
and that the diskette drive is attached correctly.
