When you turn on your computer, before starting the operating system, it goes through
a series of power-on self-tests. If any problems are found, the computer displays an
error message telling you about them. These messages are explained in the following
table.
In some cases, the computer will also let you know what the problem is by making a
series of beeps; these beep codes are explained in the table starting on page 77.
