Virus-related Message BootSector Write!! VIRUS: Continue  (Y/N)? Description The BIOS has detected software attempting to write to a drive's boot sector. This is flagged as possible virus activity. This message will only be displayed if Virus Detection is enabled in AMIBIOS setup. If the BIOS detects possible virus activity, it will prompt the user. This message will only be displayed if Virus Detection is enabled in AMIBIOS setup. System Configuration Message Description DMA-1 Error Error initializing primary DMA controller. This is a fatal error, often indication a problem with system hardware. DMA-2 Error Error initializing secondary DMA controller. This is a fatal error, often indication a problem with system hardware. DMA Controller Error POST error while trying to initialize the DMA controller. This is a fatal error, often indication a problem with system hardware. Checking NVRAM... BIOS could not write to the NVRAM block. This message appears when the FLASH Update Failed part is write-protected or if there is no FLASH part (System uses a PROM or EPROM). Microcode Error BIOS could not find or load the CPU Microcode Update to the CPU. This message only applies to INTEL CPUs. The message is most likely to appear when a brand new CPU is installed in a mainboard with an outdated BIOS. In this case, the BIOS must be updated to include the Microcode Update for the new CPU. NVRAM Checksum There was an error in while validating the NVRAM data. This causes POST to clear Bad, NVRAM the NVRAM data. Cleared Resource Conflict More than one system device is trying to use the same non-shareable resources (Memory or I/O). NVRAM Ignored The NVRAM data used to store Plug'n'Play (PnP) data was not used for system configuration in POST. NVRAM Bad The NVRAM data used to store Plug'n'Play (PnP) data was not used for system configuration in POST due to a data error. Static Conflict Resource Two or more Static Devices are trying to use the same resource space (usually Memory or I/O). PCI I/O conflict A PCI adapter generated an I/O resource conflict when configured by BIOS POST. PCI ROM conflict A PCI adapter generated an I/O resource conflict when configured by BIOS POST. PCI IRQ conflict A PCI adapter generated an I/O resource conflict when configured by BIOS POST. PCI IRQ routing table BIOS POST (DIM code) found a PCI device in the system but was unable to figure error out how to route an IRQ to the device. Usually this error is causing by an incomplete description of the PCI Interrupt Routing of the system. Timer Error Indicates an error while programming the count register of channel 2 of the 8254 timer. This may indicate a problem with system hardware. Refresh timer test BIOS POST found that the refresh timer hardware failed to pass the Refresh failed Retrace Test. Interrupt Controller-1 BIOS POST could not initialize the Master Interrupt Controller. This may indicate a error problem with system hardware. Interrupt Controller-2 BIOS POST could not initialize the Slave Interrupt Controller. This may indicate a error problem with system hardware. 66 Aspire XC600 Service Guide
