Displayed after any recoverable error message.
Optional message displayed during POST. Can be turned off
in Setup.
Previous POST did not successfully complete. 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.
Real time clock fails BIOS test. May require board repair.
Shadow RAM failed at offset nnnn of the 64K block at which
the error was detected.
