This can happen for three reasons:
♦
Power on self test (POST) detects a configuration error or
fault. This will result in either a BEEP code or one or more of
the error messages listed at the end of this chapter. If a fault
persists, make a note of error messages and the current
configuration settings before calling an authorised maintainer.
♦
The CMOS battery may be running down. You may get
spurious error messages. If this happens every time you turn on
the computer, you may have to change the battery,
instructions for this are given in the 'Motherboard' chapter.
♦
The configuration may have been changed, for example by the
addition of more system memory, a new hard drive, or an
expansion card. In this case you may have to define and check
the new configuration.
In any areas where the POST has detected changes, or there is some
contentious issue, the BIOS setup menu's buttoned items will
change to show an arrowhead symbol. This can be followed down
through any further levels of menu until you arrive at the screen
with the change on it.
A number of keys are used within the BIOS Setup utility, to select
items on the screen, and change the settings. The two lines at the
bottom of the screen indicate what you can do at any given time.
The following are the keys and their function:
