Aptiva - List of common configuration Error Codes
Applicable to: World-Wide
The list of configuration error codes below contains some of the more common bootup error codes that may be encountered in the Aptiva systems.
These error codes are not related to the operating system on the computer, but are instead an indication of a hardware configuration problem. The codes are included here for the convenience of computer users, since the codes will seem to appear when the operating system is booted.
These configuration error codes may also be referred to as POST codes. When the system is powered on, the system BIOS executes a series of tests, called the Power On Self Test (POST), to check the hardware configuration and components in the system. In the Aptiva systems, these POST codes are more often seen as Configuration Error codes when displayed during bootup.
Post Error Codes
Note: X Represents any number not otherwise listed.

The descriptions for each of the error codes can help to localize some of the more common problems. A recent hardware change will cause these errors, such as adding memory, a second hard drive, or adapter card. Pressing "F1" to go to the hardware configuration screen and then pressing "Esc" accepting the changes and saving them will often cause these errors to disappear at the next power on bootup.
If the error code persists, the error may be the result of incorrect insertion of chips or adapter cards in their sockets, bad chips or adapter cards, or a conflict of hardware options for adapter cards.
If the hardware changes have been reseated, reinstalled, and double-checked, and the problem still occurs, try removing the change to see if the error still occurs. If it does not occur, then the problem is with the hardware change.
