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 have the correct
checksum. 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.
Table 5-1 POST Error Codes and Messages is a list of the error codes and messages
written at the start of each POST test. Table 5-2 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.
