post = Power-On Self Test


16 unknown, possibly something related to memory size

2049 unknown, possibly something related to memory size


DIMM0 -- that is telling you EXACTLY which RAM memory DIMM has failed

J21 is telling you the component-slot number in which the failing DIMM is installed


its not ambiguous. you have at least one memory module that is not working adequately.
