I am getting a caps lock blink code error message. The computer turns on and functions normally but the code will randomly start to blink after running for a while. It doesn't seem to effect performance as the machine still operates with code blinking the same as it would without code blinking.

 

I have read the error codes page and it says the specific pattern refers to the controller not accessing BIOS in time allowed and to rectify by removing peripherals and any non essential hardware.

 

The problem is that there isn't anything attached to the laptop and the only "external" peripheral is the built is cd drive. I guess my cordless mouse also falls in this territory.

 

What would cause this type of behavior? I thought the blink codes came up before the computer booted fully? But I could be mistaken.

 

Any ideas, would be welcome. The system runs Windows 11, but it did this behavior before I upgraded it as well.

 

Thank you
