We used a remote support connection to fix a customer’s server. When we were finished patching the server it required a reboot. 30 minutes later the machine wasn’t back on-line we went on site. When the tech walked in he say the following error on the screen.

He discovered the cause was:

The event log within BIOS contains one or more events that should be diagnosed before continuing.

The fix was:
Check the event log in the BIOS, address the issues listed, clear the log and run the diagnostics again to confirm that no further issues are detected. ”
