DMA Channels

[Compuitincolo]

Hi, when running number 5 mobo/video tests (PCD 7.5), got the following error

BIOS Timer..............................PASSED 
IRQ Controller..........................PASSED 
DMA Channels............................
  Channel 0 register patterns failed
DMA Channels............................FAILED  02/12/2013 22:53
RAM Refresh.............................PASSED

What would this Channel 0 register patterns failed mean?

This is a hp pavilion desktop

I have gone ahead and researched your issue.

What I have found is that we actually removed DMA Channel testing in later versions of Service Center. In fact the test serves no purpose on systems and it was causing failures when there was no issue.

My recommendation would be to upgrade your version of Service Center. If that is not an option at this time, I would recommend disregarding this failure on any systems from 2012 or newer.
