Device Manager error codes are numerical codes, accompanied by an error message, that help you determine what kind of issue Windows is having with a piece of hardware.
These error codes, sometimes called hardware error codes, are generated when the computer is experiencing device driver issues, system resource conflicts, or other hardware problems.
In all versions of Windows, a Device Manager error code can be viewed in the device status area of the hardware device's properties in Device Manager. See How to View a Device's Status in Device Manager if you need help.
Note: Device Manager error codes are completely different than system error codes, STOP codes, POST codes, and HTTP status codes, even though some of the code numbers may be the same. If you see an error code outside of Device Manager, it's not a Device Manager error code.
See below for a complete list of Device Manager error codes:

Code 1

This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)

Code 3

The driver for this device might be corrupted, or your system may be running low on memory or other resources. (Code 3)

Code 10

This device cannot start. (Code 10) More »

Code 12

This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12)

Code 14

This device cannot work properly until you restart your computer. (Code 14)

Code 16

Windows cannot identify all the resources this device uses. (Code 16)

Code 18

Reinstall the drivers for this device. (Code 18)

Code 19

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. To fix this problem you should uninstall and then reinstall the hardware device. (Code 19) More »

Code 21

Windows is removing this device. (Code 21)

Code 22

This device is disabled. (Code 22) More »

Code 24

This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed. (Code 24)

Code 28

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) More »

Code 29

This device is disabled because the firmware of the device did not give it the required resources. (Code 29) More »

Code 31

This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31) More »

Code 32

A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32) More »

Code 33

Windows cannot determine which resources are required for this device. (Code 33)

Code 34

Windows cannot determine the settings for this device. Consult the documentation that came with this device and use the Resource tab to set the configuration. (Code 34)

Code 35

Your computer's system firmware does not include enough information to properly configure and use this device. To use this device, contact your computer manufacturer to obtain a firmware or BIOS update. (Code 35)

Code 36

This device is requesting a PCI interrupt but is configured for an ISA interrupt (or vice versa). Please use the computer's system setup program to reconfigure the interrupt for this device. (Code 36)

Code 37

Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37) More »

Code 38

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)

Code 39

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) More »

Code 40

Windows cannot access this hardware because its service key information in the registry is missing or recorded incorrectly. (Code 40)

Code 41

Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41) More »

Code 42

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because there is a duplicate device already running in the system. (Code 42)

Code 43

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43) More »

Code 44

An application or service has shut down this hardware device. (Code 44)

Code 45

Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)

Code 46

Windows cannot gain access to this hardware device because the operating system is in the process of shutting down. (Code 46)

Code 47

Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for safe removal, but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)

Code 48

The software for this device has been blocked from starting because it is known to have problems with Windows. Contact the hardware vendor for a new driver. (Code 48)

Code 49

Windows cannot start new hardware devices because the system hive is too large (exceeds the Registry Size Limit). (Code 49)

Code 52

Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

Beep Code
A beep code is the audio signal given out by a computer to announce the result of a short diagnostic testing sequence the computer performs when first powering up (called the Power-On-Self-Test or POST ). The POST is a small program contained in the computer's Basic Input/Output Operating System ( BIOS ) that checks to make sure necessary hardware is present and required memory is accessible. If everything tests out correctly, the computer will typically emit a single beep and continue the starting-up process. If something is wrong, the computer will display an error message on the monitor screen and announce the errors audibly with a series of beeps that vary in pitch, number and duration (this is especially useful when the error exists with the monitor or graphic components). The beeping sequence is really a coded message (beep code) designed to tell the user what is wrong with the computer.

There is no official standard for beep codes; audio patterns vary according to the manufacturer of the computer's BIOS program. If an error message is beeped on startup, the user must first determine what kind of BIOS the computer is running (Phoenix or AMI are the most popular) and use that information to look up the particular beep code sequence that is being sent. BIOS information and beep code interpretations can be found in the manual that comes with the computer and on the manufacturer's Web site.
