The following is a list of error-and-status messages that Phoenix BIOS
and/or your operating system can generate.
• Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn
Extended memory not working or not configured properly.If you have
an installed memory upgrade module,verify that the module is properly
installed. If it is properly installed, you may want to check your
Windows Setup to be sure it is not using unavailable memory.
• nnnn Extended RAM Passed
Where nnnn is the amount of memory in kilobytes successfully tested.
• Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn
This is a map of the bits at the memory address (in System, Extended,
or Shadow memory) which failed the memory test. Each 1 (one) in the
map indicates a failed bit. This is a serious fault that may cause you to
lose data if you continue.
• Fixed Disk 0 Failure or Fixed Disk Controller
The fixed disk is not working or not configured properly. This may
mean that the hard drive type identified in your setup utility does not
agree with the type detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup
utility to check for the hard drive type settings and correct them if
necessary. If the settings are OK and the message appears when you
restart the system, there may be a serious fault which might cause you
to lose data if you continue.
• Invalid NVRAM media type
Problem with NVRAM access. In the unlikely case that you see this
message you may have some display problems.You can continue
operating but should contact your support representative for more
information.
• Keyboard controller error
