POST Message 164 167 175 Description A change in the memory configuration occurred. This error can be caused by adding, removing, or incorrectly installing memory. Note: The computer can be used with decreased memory capacity until the error is corrected. Action: 1. If you added memory, see Installing Options in Your Personal Computer and Chapter 4, "Configuring Your Computer" on page 39 of this booklet to verify that the new memory is correct for your computer, and that it is installed and configured correctly. 2. If you added or removed memory, you must save the new configuration in the Configuration/Setup Utility Program. Refer to the Important text box on page 40 for further information and instructions on saving the configuration. 3. Running the diagnostic programs might isolate the location of the problem DIMM and provide additional information. (See "Diagnostic Programs" on page 97 for information about diagnostic programs provided with your computer.) If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the computer serviced. The microprocessor was updated and the correct system BIOS update program was not found. This error can be caused when a different microprocessor is installed. Action: If you updated the microprocessor, refer to "Updating the System BIOS" on page 33 and perform the BIOS flash update procedure. If the problem cannot be isolated and corrected, have the computer serviced. The primary copy of secure data is damaged. This can occur if the computer is turned off while the Configuration/Setup Utility program is updating the administrator password or startup sequence. Action: POST will attempt to use the alternate copy of secure data to correct the primary copy. If the operation is successful, the administrator password and startup sequence will remain as they were before the Configuration/Setup Utility program was invoked and this error will not appear during the next power-on. If the operation is not successful, other POST errors might appear and the system board must be replaced. Chapter 6. Solving Problems 71
