0000 displays with the maximum fail count being 99,999. Initially only four digits appear, but additional
digits appear as needed.
Each time a test is completed, the number of pass and failures is incremented. If the test fails, the
message Failure displays for approximately three seconds, and the failure count increases by one.
The test continues until all standard and optional DRAM is tested. Once the maximum pass count or fail count
