readjusting the system time in AMI
BIOS Setup.

Make sure the Fan device is working.

configuration settings. This error
might indicate that CMOS has
become corrupt due to a weak
CMOS battery.

Primary Master could not be found
or initialized. Make sure the hard

missing keyboard during POST.

the machine. This message appears

media.
