Message Displayed Description
DMA-2 Error Error initializing secondary DMA controller. This is a fatal
error, often indication a problem with system hardware.
DMA Controller Error POST error while trying to initialize the DMA controller.
This is a fatal error, often indication a problem with
system hardware.
Checking NVRAM..Update Failed 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).
Microcode Error 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CPU is installed in a motherboard with an outdated
BIOS. In this case, the BIOS must be updated to include
the Microcode Update for the new CPU.
NVRAM Checksum Bad, NVRAM Cleared There was an error in while validating the NVRAM data.
This causes POST to clear the NVRAM data.
Resource Conflict More than one system device is trying to use the same
non-shareable resources (Memory or I/O).
NVRAM Ignored The NVRAM data used to store Plug’n’Play (PnP) data
was not used for system configuration in POST.
NVRAM Bad The NVRAM data used to store Plug’n’Play (PnP) data
was not used for system configuration in POST due to a
data error.
Static Resource Conflict Two or more Static Devices are trying to use the same
resource space (usually Memory or I/O).
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
