Error Messages BIOS Error Messages Table 41. BIOS Error Messages Error Message Diskette drive A error Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn Failing Bits: nnnn Fixed Disk 0 Failure or Fixed Disk 1 Failure or Fixed Disk Controller Failure Incorrect Drive A type - run SETUP Invalid NVRAM media type Keyboard controller error Keyboard error Keyboard error nn Keyboard locked - Unlock key switch Monitor type does not match CMOS - Run SETUP Operating system not found Parity Check 1 Parity Check 2 Press to resume, to Setup Real time clock error Shadow RAM Failed at offset: nnnn System battery is dead Replace and run SETUP System cache error - Cache disabled System CMOS checksum bad run SETUP System RAM Failed at offset: nnnn System timer error nnnn = hexadecimal number Explanation Drive A is present but fails the POST diskette tests. Check that the drive is defined with the proper diskette type in Setup and that the diskette drive is installed correctly. Extended memory not working or not configured properly at offset nnnn. The hexadecimal number nnnn is a map of the bits at the RAM address (System, Extended, or Shadow memory) that failed the memory test. Each 1 in the map indicates a failed bit. Fixed disk is not working or not configured properly. Check to see if fixed disk is installed properly. Run Setup to be sure the fixed-disk type is correctly identified. Type of diskette drive for drive A not correctly identified in Setup. Problem with NVRAM (CMOS) access. The keyboard controller failed test. Try replacing the keyboard. Keyboard not working. BIOS discovered a stuck key and displayed the scan code nn for the stuck key. Unlock the system to proceed. Monitor type not correctly identified in Setup. Operating system cannot be located on either drive A or drive C. Enter Setup and see if fixed disk and drive A are properly identified. Parity error found in the system bus. BIOS attempts to locate the address and display it on the screen. If it cannot locate the address, it displays ????. Parity error found in the I/O bus. BIOS attempts to locate the address and display it on the screen. If it cannot locate the address, it displays ????. Displayed after any recoverable error message. Press to start the boot process or to enter Setup and change any settings. Real-time clock fails BIOS test. May require motherboard repair. Shadow RAM failed at offset nnnn of the 64 KB block at which the error was detected. The CMOS clock battery indicator shows the battery is dead. Replace the battery and run Setup to reconfigure the system. RAM cache failed the BIOS test. BIOS disabled the cache. System CMOS RAM has been corrupted or modified incorrectly, perhaps by an application program that changes data stored in CMOS. Run Setup and reconfigure the system either by getting the default values and/or making your own selections. System RAM failed at offset nnnn of the 64 KB block at which the error was detected. The timer test failed. Requires repair of system motherboard. 62
