Error Message			Explanation

8042 Gate - A20 Error		Gate A20 on the keyboard controller (8042) is not working.
Address Line Short!		Error in the address decoding circuitry on the baseboard.
Bad PnP Serial ID Checksum	The Serial ID checksum of a Plug and Play card was invalid.
Cache Memory Bad		Cache memory is defective. Replace it.
CH-2 Timer Error		Most systems include two timers. There is an error in timer 2.
CMOS Battery State Low		CMOS RAM is powered by a battery. The battery power is low. Replace the battery.
CMOS Checksum Failure		After CMOS RAM values are saved, a checksum value is generated for error checking. The previous value is different from the current value. Run CMOS Setup.
CMOS System Options Not Set	The values stored in CMOS RAM are either corrupt or nonexistent. Run Setup.
CMOS Display Type Mismatch	The video type in CMOS RAM does not match the type detected by the BIOS. Run CMOS Setup.
CMOS Memory Size Mismatch	The amount of memory on the baseboard is different than the amount in CMOS RAM. Run CMOS Setup.
CMOS Time and Date Not Set	Run Standard CMOS Setup to set the date and time in CMOS RAM.
Diskette Boot Failure		The boot disk in floppy drive A: is corrupt. It cannot be used to boot the system. Use another boot disk and follow the screen instructions.
Display Switch Not Proper	The display jumper is not implemented on this product, this error will not occur.
DMA Bus Time-out		A device has driven the bus signal for more than 7.8 microseconds.
DMA Error			Error in the DMA controller.
DMA #1 Error			Error in the first DMA channel.
DMA #2 Error			Error in the second DMA channel.
Floppy Disk Controller Conflict	The floppy disk controller has requested a resource that is already in use.
FDD Controller Failure		The BIOS cannot communicate with the floppy disk drive controller. Check all appropriate connections after the system is powered down.
HDD Controller Failure		The BIOS cannot communicate with the hard disk drive controller. Check all appropriate connections after the system is powered down.
INTR #1 Error			Interrupt channel 1 failed POST.
INTR #2 Error			Interrupt channel 2 failed POST.
Invalid Boot Diskette		The BIOS can read the disk in floppy drive A:, but cannot boot the system. Use another boot disk.
I/O Card Parity Error at xxxxx	An expansion card failed. If the address can be determined, it is displayed as xxxxx. If not, the message is I/O Card Parity Error ????.
Keyboard Is Locked...Unlock It	The keyboard lock on the system is engaged. The system must be unlocked to continue.
Keyboard Error			There is a timing problem with the keyboard. Set the Keyboard option in Standard CMOS Setup to Not Installed to skip the keyboard POST routines.
KB/Interface Error		There is an error in the keyboard connector.
Memory Parity Error at xxxxx	Memory failed. If the memory location can be determined, it is displayed as xxxxx. If not, the message is Memory Parity Error ????.
NVRAM Checksum Error		The ESCD data was reinitialized because of an NVRAM checksum error.  Try rerunning the ICU.
NVRAM Cleared By Jumper		The "Clear CMOS" jumper has been moved to the "Clear" position and CMOS RAM has been cleared.
NVRAM Data Invalid		Invalid entry in the ESCD.
Off Board Parity Error 		Parity error in memory installed in an expansion slot. The format is:     OFF BOARD PARITY ERROR ADDR (HEX) = (XXXX)     XXXX is the hex address where the error occurred.
On Board Parity Error		Parity is not supported on this product, this error will not occur.
Parallel Port Resource Conflict	The parallel port has requested a resource that is already in use.
Parity Error ???? 		Parity error in system memory at an unknown address.
PCI Error Log is Full		This message is displayed when more than 15 PCI conflict errors are detected.  No additional PCI errors can be logged.
PCI I/O Port Conflict		Two devices requested the same resource, resulting in a conflict.
PCI IRQ Conflict		Two devices requested the same resource, resulting in a conflict.
PCI Memory Conflict		Two devices requested the same resource, resulting in a conflict.
Primary Boot Device Not Found	The designated primary boot device (hard disk drive, diskette drive, or CD-ROM drive) could not be found.
Primary IDE Controller Conflict	The primary IDE controller has requested a resource that is already in use.
Primary Input Device Not Found	The designated primary input device (keyboard, mouse, or other, if input is redirected) could not be found.
Secondary IDE Cont Conflict	The secondary IDE controller has requested a resource that is already in use.
Serial Port 1 Resource Conflict	Serial port 1 has requested a resource that is already in use.
Serial Port 2 Resource Conflict	Serial port 2 has requested a resource that is already in use.
Static Device Resource Conflict	A non Plug and Play ISA card has requested a resource that is already in use.
System Board Device Conflict	A non Plug and Play ISA card has requested a resource that is already in use.
