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when a brand new CPU is installed in a motherboard with an outdated BIOS.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.
There was an error in while validating the NVRAM data. This causes POST to
clear the NVRAM data.
More than one system device is trying to use the same non-shareable
resources (Memory or I/O).
The NVRAM data used to store Plug'n'Play (PnP) data was not used for system
configuration in POST.
The NVRAM data used to store Plug'n'Play (PnP) data was not used for system
configuration in POST due to a data error.
Two or more Static Devices are trying to use the same resource space (usually
Memory or I/O).
A PCI adapter generated an I/O resource conflict when configured by BIOS
POST.
A PCI adapter generated an I/O resource conflict when configured by BIOS
POST.
A PCI adapter generated an I/O resource conflict when configured by BIOS
POST.
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.
Indicates an error while programming the count register of channel 2 of the
8254 timer. This may indicate a problem with system hardware.
BIOS POST could not initialize the Master Interrupt Controller. This may
indicate a problem with system hardware.
BIOS POST could not initialize the Slave Interrupt Controller. This may indicate
a problem with system hardware.
The CMOS Date and/or Time are invalid. This error can be resolved by
readjusting the system time in AMIBIOS Setup.
CMOS Battery is low. This message usually indicates that the CMOS battery
needs to be replaced. It could also appear when the user intentionally
discharges the CMOS battery.
CMOS settings are invalid. This error can be resolved by using AMIBIOS Setup.
CMOS contents failed the Checksum check. Indicates that the CMOS data has
been changed by a program other than the BIOS or that the CMOS is not
retaining its data due to malfunction. This error can typically be resolved by
using AMIBIOS Setup.
Keyboard is not present or the hardware is not responding when the keyboard
controller is initialized.
PS2 Keyboard support is enabled in the BIOS setup but the device is not
detected.
PS2 Mouse support is enabled in the BIOS setup but the device is not detected.
