Computer Problems
The computer fails the POST
The computer POST (Power On Self Test) ensures that all hardware is working
properly before starting the remainder of the boot process. If the computer passes
the POST, the computer continues to start normally. However, if the computer
fails the POST, the computer emits a series of beeps during start-up. The following
repetitive beep codes help you troubleshoot problems with your computer.
For assistance, contact Alienware (see “CONTACTING ALIENWARE“ on page 66).
