POST critical state alert
POST has generated critical alert. Probable causes and corresponding resolutions for this condition are:
Cause | Resolutions |
No memory is detected. | Inspect System Memory. |
Memory is detected, but is not configurable. | Compare system memory installation to supported system memory configurations. |
Memory is configured, but not usable. | Remove input power. Reseat memory devices or reduce system to minimum supported memory configuration. |
System BIOS shadow failed. | Remove input power. Reduce system memory to minimum configuration and apply input power. |
CMOS failed. | Check system event log for CMOS battery exceptions. Remove and reapply input power. If the problem persists, contact technical support. Refer to the product documentation to choose a convenient contact method. |
DMA controller failed. | Remove and reapply input power. |
Interrupt controller failed. | Remove and reapply input power. If the problem persists, contact technical support. Refer to the product documentation to choose a convenient contact method. |
Timer refresh failed. | Remove and reapply input power. If the problem persists, contact technical support. Refer to the product documentation to choose a convenient contact method. |
Programmable interval timer error. | Remove and reapply input power. If the problem persists, contact technical support. Refer to the product documentation to choose a convenient contact method. |
Parity error. | Remove and reapply input power. If the problem persists, contact technical support. Refer to the product documentation to choose a convenient contact method. |
SuperIO failed. | Remove and reapply input power. If the problem persists, contact technical support. Refer to the product documentation to choose a convenient contact method. |
Keyboard controller failed. | Remove and reapply input power. If the problem persists, contact technical support. Refer to the product documentation to choose a convenient contact method. |
System management interrupt initialization failed. | Remove and reapply input power. If the problem persists, contact technical support. Refer to the product documentation to choose a convenient contact method. |
QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) fatal error. | Reboot the system. If problem persists, remove input power and reseat processors. |
MRC fatal error. | Compare system memory installation to supported system memory configurations. Reduce system configuration to minimum memory configuration. |
Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) fatal error. | Check TPM presence. Remove and reapply input power. If the problem persists, contact technical support. Refer to the product documentation to choose a convenient contact method. |
Shut-down test failed. | Check system event log for CMOS battery exceptions. Remove and reapply input power. If the problem persists, contact technical support. Refer to the product documentation to choose a convenient contact method. |
BIOS POST memory test failed. | Compare system memory installation to supported system memory configurations. Reduce system configuration to minimum memory configuration. |
Remote access controller configuration failed. | Cycle input power and power on the system. If the problem persists, contact technical support. Refer to the product documentation to choose a convenient contact method. |
CPU configuration failed. | Review system processor configuration and reduce the system to the minimum configuration. |
Incorrect memory configuration. | Re-install memory to match supported memory configuration. |
General failure after video. | Check system video and review event log for additional information. |
POST fatal error detected. | Check system video and review event log for additional information. |
