In accordance with one embodiment, an abnormality notification apparatus comprises a display device, a first drive circuit, at least one processor, a pulse generating circuit and a second drive circuit. The first drive circuit turns on the display device according to a control signal from a display control section. The processor operates according to separate programs. The pulse generating circuit outputs, during a period when a signal indicating an abnormality of any processor is input, a pulse signal corresponding to a blinking pattern for notifying the abnormality of the processor. The second drive circuit blinks the display device in response to the pulse signal output by the pulse generating circuit.
