POST error codes

Each time you power-on the system, it performs a series of tests that check the operation of the system and some options. This series of tests is called the Power-OnSelf-Test, or POST.

The POST does the following operations:

Checks some basic system-board operations

Checks the memory operation

Starts the video operation

Verifies that the boot drive is working

If the POST detects a problem, an error message appears on the screen. A single problem can cause several error messages to appear. When you correct the cause of the first error message, the other error messages probably will not appear on the screen the next time you turn on the system.
