Thread: Desktop Management Interface Verification Error While System Startup

Desktop Management Interface or DMI is a BIOS provided table that gives computer and BIOS information upon parsing in a standard form. It basically creates a framework that is used to manage and track desktop, server or notebook computer components. When you turn on the system, POST (Power-On Self Test) runs that verifies this table for integrity to pass the output information to the operating system. On occasion, you observe that this DMI verification doesn't last and system gets stuck. Such system behavior is the general indicative of hard drive failure. The POST might fail to verify the DMI pool data and extend its check if encounters a failed hard drive. You should replace the damaged hard drive immediately and consult [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for further assistance and to recover the lost data.

To illustrate such issues, consider that you try to boot a computer system. The POST check runs as expected, but doesn't complete as you receive the below error message:

“Verifying DMI Pool Data”

The boot process hangs after you receive the error message and you might need to forcefully shut down your computer.

Cause

Among other reasons, like incorrect BIOS settings for hard drive, loosely or improperly connected hard drive, BIOS corruption and incorrect boot sequence, the most probable reason for this error to occur is hard drive failure. A hard drive breakdown might occur due to wear and tear, read/write failure, PCB damage, motor failure and several other reasons.

Solution

You should first check for proper BIOS settings and correct boot sequence and make sure that the hard drive is properly connected to the computer. If this doesn't resolve your issue, replace the hard drive as it might be damaged.
