System Error Report
When the BIOS encounters an error that requires the user to correct
something, either a beep code will sound or a message will be dis-
played in a box in the middle of the screen and the message PRESS
F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC or DEL TO ENTER SETUP, will be
shown in the information box at the bottom. Enter Setup to correct the
error.
POST Beep
There is one beep code in the BIOS. This code indicates that a video
error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to
display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single
long beep followed by two short beeps. If you get this error, contact
your system board.

One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS
detects an error during the POST.
