Level 1
Level 1

There was an error "Non-free molecules were seen on the notify ring", when the system was booting. The system reloads for several times and then stoped there.

Did anybody meet such situation? Pls help.

Thanks a lot.

This switch has failed POST tests. It normally indicates a hardware failure. I suggest that you open a TAC Case
