Fatal error indicating a serious problem with the system. Consult your system manufacturer. Before declaring the
motherboard beyond all hope, eliminate the possibility of interference by a malfunctioning add-in card. Remove
all expansion cards except the video adapter.
• If beep codes are generated when all other expansion cards are absent, consult your system manufacturer's
technical support.
• If beep codes are not generated when all other expansion cards are absent, one of the add-in cards is causing
the malfunction. Insert the cards back into the system one at a time until the problem happens again. This will
reveal the malfunctioning card.

If the system video adapter is an add-in card, replace or reseat the video adapter. If it's an integrated part of the
system board, the board may be faulty.
