Power On Self Test (POST)
The BIOS performs a series of power-on-self-test (POST) to diagnose hardware
errors when the system first starts up. During the POST procedure, the POST
verifies that the hardware is installed and operational. If a hardware problem exists,
the POST routine may halt execution (depending upon the severity of the problem).
