Message S.M.A.R.T. Command Failed S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD, Backup and Replace S.M.A.R.T. Capable and Status BAD Description The BIOS tried to send a S.M.A.R.T. message to a hard disk, but the command transaction failed. This message can be reported by an ATAPI device using the S.M.A.R.T. error reporting standard. S.M.A.R.T. failure messages may indicate the need to replace the hard disk. A S.M.A.R.T. capable hard disk sends this message when it detects an imminent failure.This message can be reported by an ATAPI device using the S.M.A.R.T. error reporting standard. S.M.A.R.T. failure messages may indicate the need to replace the hard disk. A S.M.A.R.T. capable hard disk sends this message when it detects an imminent failure. This message can be reported by an ATAPI device using the S.M.A.R.T. error reporting standard. S.M.A.R.T. failure messages may indicate the need to replace the hard disk. 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 DMA-1 Error DMA-2 Error DMA Controller Error Checking NVRAM... Update Failed Microcode Error NVRAM Checksum Bad, NVRAM Cleared Resource Conflict NVRAM Ignored NVRAM Bad Static Resource Conflict PCI I/O conflict Description Error initializing primary DMA controller. This is a fatal error, often indication a problem with system hardware. Error initializing secondary DMA controller. This is a fatal error, often indication a problem with system hardware. POST error while trying to initialize the DMA controller. This is a fatal error, often indication a problem with system hardware. BIOS could not write to the NVRAM block. This message appears when the FLASH part is write-protected or if there is no FLASH part (System uses a PROM or EPROM). 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 The message is most likely to appear when a brand new CPU is installed in a mainboard with an outdated BIOS.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. There was an error in while validating the NVRAM data. This causes POST to clear the NVRAM data. More than one system device is trying to use the same non-shareable resources (Memory or I/O). The NVRAM data used to store Plug'n'Play (PnP) data was not used for system configuration in POST. The NVRAM data used to store Plug'n'Play (PnP) data was not used for system configuration in POST due to a data error. Two or more Static Devices are trying to use the same resource space (usually Memory or I/O). A PCI adapter generated an I/O resource conflict when configured by BIOS POST.
