•
Messages that furnish important information (such as memory status) on power-on and boot
processes. These non-critical malfunctions are those that cause incorrect results that may not be
readily apparent. An example of a non-critical error would be a memory chip failure.
•
In general, if the POST detects a system board failure (a critic al error), the computer halts and
generates a series of beeps.
If failure is detected in an area other than the system board (such as the display, keyboard, or an
adapter card) an error message is displayed on the screen and testing is stopped.
The POST does not test all areas of the computer, but only those that allow it to be operational
enough to run any diagnostic program. If your system does not successfully complete the POST,
but displays a blank screen, emits a series of beeps, or displays an error code, consult your dealer.
Resetting the System
After installing a software application package , you may be prompted to reset the system to load
the changed operating environment. To reset the system, or “reboot,” press the [Ctrl] + [Alt] +
[Delete] keys simultaneously. This is known as “warm boot.” This key combination acts as a
“software” reset switch when you encounter hardware or software problems, which lock up the
DeskNote.
If this key combination does not reset the DeskNote, you can shut down the DeskNote by using
the computer's power button. Should the computer lock up for some reason, pressing this button
powers the computer off.
