Memory Test:
Memory test fail
Override enabled -
Defaults loaded
C–2
Probable Cause
Cannot initialize the
keyboard.
This message displays
during a full memory test,
counting down the
memory areas being
tested.
If POST detects an error
during memory testing,
additional information
appears giving specifics
about the type and
location of the memory
error.
If the system cannot boot
using the current CMOS
configuration, the BIOS
can override the current
configuration with a set of
BIOS defaults designed
for the most stable,
minimal-performance
system operations.

Recommended Action
Make sure the keyboard is attached
correctly and no keys are pressed during
POST. To purposely configure the system
without a keyboard, set the error halt
condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT
KEYBOARD. The BIOS then ignores the
missing keyboard during POST.
No action request
Reseat memory modules.
Replace memory modules.
Restart the computer, use the F10 Key to
access Computer Setup. Select Load
Default Settings > Save and Exit.
