levels are not adhered to

Check your computer configuration:
• If the computer configuration corresponds with factory state,
please contact your technical support team.

original factory settings. Remove all third-party expansion
cards, then restart the PC. If the error no longer occurs, the
third-party expansion card was the cause of the fault.
Replace this expansion card with a Siemens card or contact
