POST loads default values and offers to run BIOS Setup Utility. If the failure was caused by incorrect values and they are not corrected, the next boot will likely fail. On systems with control of wait states, improper BIOS Setup Utility settings can also terminate POST and cause this error on the next boot. Run BIOS Setup Utility and verify that the wait-state configuration is correct. This error is cleared the next time the system is booted. Memory Size found Memory size found by POST differed from by POST differed from CMOS. CMOS Diskette drive A error Diskette drive B error Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS POST diskette tests. Check to see that the drive is defined with the proper diskette type in BIOS Setup Utility and that the diskette drive is attached correctly. Incorrect Drive A type Type of diskette drive A: not correctly identified - run SETUP in BIOS Setup Utility. Incorrect Drive B type Type of diskette drive B: not correctly identified - run SETUP in BIOS Setup Utility. System cache error Cache disabled RAM cache failed and BIOS disabled the cache. On older boards, check the cache jumpers. You may have to replace the cache. See your dealer. A disabled cache slows system performance considerably.
