when the BIOS is trying to detect and configure IDE/ATAPI devices 
in POST. 

Primary Master Drive – 
ATAPI Incompatible 

The IDE/ATAPI device configured as Primary Master failed an 
ATAPI compatibility test. This message is typically displayed when 
the BIOS is trying to detect and configure IDE/ATAPI devices in 
POST.

 Virus Related 

Message Displayed 

Description 

BootSector Write !! 

The BIOS has detected software attempting to write to a drive’s boot 
sector. This is flagged as possible virus activity. This message will 
only be displayed if Virus Detection is enabled in the Setup Utility. 

VIRUS: Continue (Y/N)? 

If the BIOS detects possible virus activity, it will prompt the user. 
This message will only be displayed if Virus Detection is enabled in 
the Setup Utility. 

DMA-2 Error 

Error initializing secondary DMA controller. This is a fatal error, often 
indicating a problem with system hardware. 

DMA Controller Error 

POST error while trying to initialize the DMA controller. This is a fatal 
error, often indicating a problem with system hardware. 

Checking NVRAM..Update 
Failed 

BIOS could not write to the NVRAM block. This message displays 
when the FLASH part is write-protected or if there is no FLASH part 
(System uses a PROM or EPROM). 

Microcode Error 

BIOS could not find or load the CPU Microcode Update to the CPU. 
This message only applies to Intel CPUs. The message is most 
likely to display when a brand new CPU is installed in a system 
board with an outdated BIOS. In this case, the BIOS must be 
updated to include the Microcode Update for the new CPU. 

NVRAM Checksum bad, 
NVRAM Cleared 

There was an error while validating the NVRAM data. This causes 
POST to clear the NVRAM data. 

Resource Conflict 

More than one system device is trying to use the same non-
shareable resources (Memory or I/O). 

NVRAM Ignored 

The NVRAM data used to store Plug’n’Play (PnP) data was not used 
for system configuration in POST. 

NVRAM Bad 

The NVRAM data used to store Plug’n’Play (PnP) data was not used 
for system configuration in POST due to a data error.
