message and take corrective action immediately. This section describes the different types of

There are two general types of error messages:
•
Software
•
System
1.7.1
Software Error Messages
Software error messages are returned by your operating system or application. These messages
typically appear after you boot the operating system or when you run your applications. If you
receive this type of message, consult your application or operating system manual for help.
1.7.2
System Error Messages
A system error message indicates a problem with the computer itself. These messages
normally appear during the power-on self-test, before the operating system prompt appears.
