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 error
BIOS POST (DIM code) found a PCI device in the system but was unable to figure 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.
Interrupt Controller-1 error
BIOS POST could not initialize the Master Interrupt Controller. This may indicate a problem with
system hardware.
Interrupt Controller-2 error
BIOS POST could not initialize the Slave Interrupt Controller. This may indicate a problem with
system hardware.
CMOS messages
CMOS Date/Time Not Set
The CMOS Date and/or Time are invalid. This error can be resolved by readjusting the system
time in AMIBIOS Setup.
CMOS Battery Low
CMOS Battery is low. This message usually indicates that the CMOS battery needs to be replaced.
It could also appear when the user intentionally discharges the CMOS battery.
CMOS Settings Wrong
CMOS settings are invalid. This error can be resolved by using BIOS Setup.
CMOS Checksum Bad
CMOS contents failed the Checksum check. Indicates that the CMOS data has been changed by
a program other than the BIOS or that the CMOS is not retaining its data due to malfunction.
This error can typically be resolved by using BIOS Setup.
Miscellaneous messages
Keyboard Error
Keyboard is not present or the hardware is not responding when the keyboard controller is
initialized.
Keyboard/Interface Error
Keyboard Controller failure. This may indicate a problem with system hardware.
System Halted
The system has been halted. A reset or power cycle is required to reboot the machine. This
message appears after a fatal error has been detected.
