Group 6702
Device Motherboard
This group tests the motherboard, sometimes referred to as the mainboard or logic board.
Usually the largest printed circuit board in a PC, the motherboard provides connections between all the various parts of the system. These connections are collectively known as buses (for example, the PCI bus).
Note: Increasingly the motherboard also provide functions that traditionally would be handled by plug in cards and modules. If you do not see a test for a component that you expected to find in this group, it may have been sophisticated enough to require a group of its own or has been placed within the group of the peripheral it supports.
Test Number 401
Test Name Memory Buses
Tests the memory bus for susceptibility to capacitive, inductive or conductive crosstalk at different transaction frequencies.
Estimated Test Time Specified by Duration parameter (15s)
PARAM1: Duration
How long to run the test in seconds.
ERRORCODES & TROUBLESHOOTING
The test cannot be executed because something is not supported. CODE="0x00/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING0: The test could not be run because the system does not have a feature or hardware device needed to do so. For example, disk buses cannot be tested if there are no disks that the program can access.
Memory bus noise and harmonic resilience test failed. CODE="0x01/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING2: Data corruption was detected, the motherboard may be faulty. Also continue to check memory and disk devices individually.
Non-Specific motherboard test failure. CODE="0x02/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING1: An internal program error. Check for BIOS updates. The test was inconclusive.
PCI bus noise and harmonic resilience test failed. CODE="0x03/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING2: Data corruption was detected, the motherboard may be faulty. Also continue to check memory and disk devices individually.
Disk bus noise and harmonic resilience test failed. CODE="0x04/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING2: Data corruption was detected, the motherboard may be faulty. Also continue to check memory and disk devices individually.
Non-volatile storage test failed. CODE="0x05/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING3: The Non-Volatile RAM may be faulty.
Real time clock did not roll over the year end correctly. CODE="0x06/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING4: The real time clock appears to be malfunctioning or is corrupted. The Operating System may report inaccurately until it updates from an online source. Check the back-up battery and firmware settings.
Real time clock did not enter next leap year correctly. CODE="0x07/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING4: The real time clock appears to be malfunctioning or is corrupted. The Operating System may report inaccurately until it updates from an online source. Check the back-up battery and firmware settings.
Real time clock did not exit next leap year correctly. CODE="0x08/3FF" TROUBLESHOOTING4: The real time clock appears to be malfunctioning or is corrupted. The Operating System may report inaccurately until it updates from an online source. Check the back-up battery and firmware settings.
Real time clock test failed while clock was free running. CODE="0x09/3FF"
TROUBLESHOOTING4: The real time clock appears to be malfunctioning or is corrupted. The Operating System may report inaccurately until it updates from an online source. Check the back-up battery and firmware settings. |
