Error Messages

Your computer’s built-in memory (ROM) contains a series of

diagnostics programs, called power-on diagnostics, which
your computer runs automatically every time you turn it on.

These programs check internal devices such as ROM, RAM,

the timer, the keyboard controller, and the hard disk drive.

The RAM test program displays the total amount of memory

currently installed in your system. If the computer finds an

error, it displays an error message on the screen. Write down
the error message and give it to your dealer when reporting a

problem.

If the error is serious, the computer cancels further checking
and halts system initialization. The error message remains on
the screen and the computer locks up. If this happens,
contact your dealer as soon as possible. Report this
information and both the error message and code number to
your dealer.
