During POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time the system is powered on, errors may
occur.
Non-fatal errors are those, which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the boot-up process. The error
messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up procedure. If a fatal error occurs, you
should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.
