BIOS Non-Fatal Error Messages
If a non-fatal error occurs during the POST routines performed each
time the system is powered on, the error message will appear on
the screen in the following format:
ERROR Message Line 1
ERROR Message Line 2
Press <F1> to RESUME
Note the error message and press the <F1 > key to continue with
the boot up sequence.
NOTE
If the “Wait for <F1> If Any Error” option in the
Advanced CMOS Setup portion of the BIOS SETUP
PROGRAM has been set to “disabled,” the <Fl>
prompt will not appear on the third line.
For most of the error messages, there is no ERROR Message Line
2. Generally, for those messages containing a line 2 ERROR
Message the text will be “RUN SETUP UTILITY.” Pressing the <F1>
key will invoke the BIOS SETUP PROGRAM.
A description of the error messages appears below.
1. CH-2 Timer Error — Most PC AT™ standard system
boards include two timers. An error with timer #1 is
a fatal error, explained in Appendix C. If an error
occurs with timer #2, this error message appears.
2. INTR #1 Error — The interrupt channel #1 has failed
the POST routine.
