1.8 Error Messages
Do not continue using the computer if you receive an error message of
any type. Note the message and take corrective action. This section
describes the types of error messages and lists their corresponding
corrective measures.
There are two general types of error messages:
• Software
• System
1.8.1 Software Error Messages
Software error messages are returned by your operating system or
application. These messages typically occur after you boot the
operating system or when you run your application. If you receive this
type of message, consult your application or operating system manual
for help.
1.8.2 System Error Messages
A system error message indicates a problem with the computer itself.
A message of this type normally appears during the power-on self-test,
before the operating system prompt appears. Table 1-4 lists the
system error messages.
