Abstract
An information handling system includes multiple PCIe devices and a basic input/output system (BIOS). The BIOS receive a system management interrupt (SMI). The SMI is in response to a detection of an error on a first PCIe device of the PCIe devices. The BIOS collect data associated with the first PCIe device. The data includes a friendly full device description for the first PCIe device. Based on the friendly full device description, the BIOS determine a friendly name for the PCIe device. The BIOS provide an error message on a display device of the information handling system. The error message includes a type of the error detected and the friendly name for the PCIe device.
