Appendix A 

BIOS Error Beep Codes

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time 

the system is powered on, errors may occur.

Non-fatal errors

 are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the 

boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.

Fatal errors

 are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up 

procedure. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer 

for possible repairs.

These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The 

numbers on the fatal error list (on the following page) correspond to the number 

of beeps for the corresponding error. All errors listed, with the exception of Beep 

Code 8, are fatal errors.
