5 Error Message Reference
Error Messages and Their Sources
Errors are designated by a hexadecimal number. These numbers are listed in this chapter with a simple
description of their meaning and some actions the user can take to try to isolate the source of the error. Brief
descriptions of the tests which generate each type of error are listed within the error message table.
The System Tests
The tests included in the System Test Menu exercise the basic functionality of the CPU, ensuring that the
registers, the flags, and both the basic and protected instructions work as expected. It includes tests of the
chip speed as well as the operation of integrated controllers for coprocessing, DMA, interrupts, and the
timers and clock functionality. Specialized tests for PCI devices, Plug and Play devices, and MMX
instructions are also included.

error.) 1. Take ESD precautions and make sure the system board is seated.
2. Check the seating of the voltage regulator module (VRM) if present.
3. Be sure the processor board (if any) is seated.
4. Make sure the CPU chip is seated.
5. Make sure the memory elements (DIMMs) are properly seated.
6. Check system fans. If overheating occurs, chip may shut down.
7. If the system ran with temperature high, let it cool for 30 minutes, then restart.
8. If system repeatedly shows this error, replace the CPU chip or board, as
appropriate.
