Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for detecting and displaying errors of electronic packages in a data processing system, which comprises the steps that a basic input-output system (BIOS) device detects whether a first electronic package is erroneous or not; if the detection shows that the first electronic package is erroneous, then the BIOS device transfers a first signal to a decoding device, and the decoding device transfers a second signal to a light emitting diode to cause the light emitting diode to flash at a specified frequency; if the detection shows that the first electronic package is correct, then the BIOS device detects a second electronic package. When a dynamic random access memory, a BIOS or a display (VGA) card have errors, the light emitting diode can flash at different frequencies to show package damages or device errors.
