failure Memory parity error Base 64K memory failure System timer failure Processor error Gate A20 failure Description The programmable interrupt timer or programmable interrupt controller has probably failed A memory parity error has occurred in the first 64K of RAM. The RAM IC is probably bad A memory failure has occurred in the first 64K of RAM. The RAM IC is probably bad The system clock/timer IC has failed or there is a memory error in the first bank of memory The system CPU has failed The keyboard controller IC has failed, which is not allowing Gate A20 to switch the processor to protected mode.

The CPU has generated an exception error because of a Virtual mode processor exception fault in the CPU or motherboard circuitry error Display memory read/write error The system video adapter is missing or defective ROM checksum error CMOS shutdown register read/write error Cache error Failure in video system Memory test failure Display test failure POST Failure POST has passed all tests The contents of the system BIOS ROM does not match the expected checksum value. The BIOS ROM is probably defective and should be replaced The shutdown for the CMOS has failed The L2 cache is faulty An error was encountered in the video BIOS ROM, or a horizontal retrace failure has been encountered A fault has been detected in memory above 64KB The video adapter is either missing or defective One of the hardware testa have failed

Error Message Video adapter error

Description Either video adapter is bad or is not seated properly. Also, check to ensure the monitor cable is connected properly.

Repeating Check for improperly seated or missing memory. (endless Memory error loop) 1long, No video card or bad video RAM Reseat or replace the video card. 3short High frequency Check the CPU fan for proper operation. Check the case beeeps Overheated CPU for proper air flow. while running Either the CPU is not seated properly or the CPU is Repeating damaged. May also be due to excess heat. Check the CPU High/Low CPU fan or BIOS settings for proper fan speed.

Phoenix ISA/MCA/EISA BIOS Beep Codes: The beep codes are represented in the number of beeps. E.g. 1-1-2 would mean 1 beep, a pause, 1 beep, a pause, and 2 beeps. With a Dell computer, a 1-2 beep code can also indicate that a bootable add-in card is installed but no boot device is attached. For example, in you insert a Promise Ultra-66 card but do not connect a hard drive to it, you will get the beep code. I verified this with a SIIG (crap -- avoid like the plague) Ultra-66 card, and then confirmed the results with Dell. Submitted by John Palmer.
