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

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.
