The CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be
replaced.
The Checksum of CMOS is incorrect. This can indicate that
CMOS has become corrupt. This error may have been
caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace
as needed.
The display switch on the system board does not match the
setting chosen during BIOS setup. Determine which setting
is correct, then either turn off the system and change the
jumper, or enter Standard CMOS Setup and change the
VIDEO selection.
Unable to reset the floppy disk subsystem.
Floppy disk type mismatch.
Hard disk drive reset failed.
Hard disk drive controller diagnostics failed.
Hard disk drive initialization error.
Unable to recalibrate fixed disk.
Hard disk drive sector failed.
The BIOS detects that the keyboard is locked.
Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure that the
keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are being

go into the BIOS Setup, Advanced Menu, Integrated
Peripherals, Keyboard and change the setting to disabled.
The checksum of ROM address F0000H-FFFFFH is bad.
