Empirical measurements have shown that some Intel Desktop boards, when optimized as described above, can complete POST (Power-On Self-Test) in six seconds or less and boot to an active Microsoft Windows Me operating system in 21 seconds.

    Error Messages and Beep Codes 5.5 BIOS Beep Codes Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, the BIOS displays an error message describing the problem (see Table 84). The BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone followed by two short tones) during POST if the video configuration fails (a faulty video card or no card installed) or if an external ROM module does not properly checksum to zero.
