Error Messages

Do not continue using the computer if you receive an error message of any type. Note the
message and take corrective action. This section explains the different types of error
messages and corresponding corrective measures.
There are two general types of error messages:
•
Software
•
System

1.9.1 Software Error Messages

Software error messages are returned by your operating system or application. These
messages typically occur after you boot the operating system or when you run your
applications. If you receive this type of message, consult your application or operating
system manual for help.

1.9.2 System Error Messages

A system error message indicates a problem with the computer itself. A message of this
type normally appears during the power-on self-test, before the operating system prompt
appears.
Table 1-4 lists the system error messages.
