In general, if the POST detects a system board failure (a critical error), the
computer halts and generates a series of beeps. If failure is detected in an
area other than the system board (such as the display, keyboard, or an
adapter card) an error message is displayed on the screen and testing is
stopped. It is important to remember that the POST does not test all areas
of the computer, only those that allow it to be operational enough to run
diagnostic programs.
If your system does not successfully complete the POST, but displays a
blank screen, emits a series of beeps, or displays an error code, consult
your dealer.
