Error Messages<br />

Error messages that appear on the screen might be text, numeric, or both. There are<br />

several types of error messages:<br />

� POST error messages<br />

Messages that appear when POST finds problems with the hardware during<br />

startup or when a change in the hardware configuration is found. POST error<br />

messages are 3-, 4-, 5-, 8-, or 12-character alphanumeric messages and include<br />

brief explanations (except I999XXXX errors).<br />

For more information about what caused an error message to appear and what<br />

action to take, refer to “Solving POST Error Message <strong>Pro</strong>blems” and “POST<br />

Message Charts” on page 98.<br />

� Software-generated error messages<br />

Messages that appear if a problem or conflict is detected by the application<br />

program, the operating system, or both. Error messages for operating-system<br />

and other software problems are generally text messages, but they also can be<br />

numeric messages. For information about these software error messages, refer<br />

to the information supplied with the operating system or application program.<br />

� Diagnostic error messages<br />

Messages that appear if a hardware problem is detected by a diagnostic test<br />

program. The messages present text information that can be used to identify a<br />

failing part.<br />

Solving POST Error Message <strong>Pro</strong>blems: If you receive an error message<br />

during the power-on-self-test (POST), completing the steps outlined in this section<br />

might enable you to resolve the problem.<br />

Note<br />

If you have just added, removed, or changed the location of a device and you<br />

receive an error message, follow the procedure described in the Important text<br />

box on page 44. If the procedure on page 44 does not eliminate the error<br />

message, then proceed with the following instructions.<br />

1. Write down all error code numbers and descriptions that appear on the screen<br />

as you start your computer. (Note that a single problem can cause several error<br />

messages to appear. When you correct the cause of the first error message, the<br />

other error messages probably will not appear on the screen the next time you<br />

turn on your computer.)<br />
