The Power-On Self Test (POST)

Each time you turn on the computer, the system takes a few seconds to conduct a POST, including a quick test of the on-board
RAM (memory).
As the POST proceeds, the computer will tell you if there is anything wrong. If there is a problem that prevents the system
from booting, it will display a system summary and prompt you to run Setup.
If there are no problems, the Setup prompt (Press <F2> to enter SETUP) will disappear and the system will load the
operating system. Once that starts, you can't get into Setup without rebooting.
Post Screen
1. BIOS information
2. CPU type
3. Memory status
4. Enter Setup prompt appears only during POST
Note: The POST screen as pictured is a guideline only. The POST screen on your computer may
appear slightly different.

Failing the POST

Errors can be detected during the POST. There are two categories, "fatal" and "non-fatal" .
Fatal Errors
These stop the boot process and usually indicate there is something seriously wrong with your system. Take the computer
to your service representative or authorized service center as soon as possible.
