This can happen for three reasons:
♦POST detects a configuration error or fault. This may be signalled by one or more of the POST error messages listed in the “Troubleshooting” chapter. If a persistent fault is indicated, make a note of any error messages and the current configuration settings before calling an authorized maintainer.
♦The CMOS battery may be running down. This may be signalled by spurious POST error messages. If this happens every time you turn on the computer, you may have to change the battery as described in Appendix A.
♦The computer’s configuration may have changed, for example by the addition of more system memory, more cache memory, or an expansion card. In this case you may have to define the new configuration.
