•
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.
