Elitegroup G733 - Manual (Page 64)

Two classifications of malfunctions can be detected during the POST:
Error messages that indicate a failure with either the hardware, the software, or the Basic
Input/Output System (BIOS). These critical malfunctions prevent the computer from operating at
all or could cause incorrect and apparent results. An example of a critical error is microprocessor
malfunction.
Messages that furnish important information on the power-on and boot processes (such as
memory status). 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 critical 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. It is important to remember that the POST does not test all areas of the computer, only those
that allow it to be operational enough to run diagnostic programs.
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.
