Failing the POST
Errors can be detected during the
POST
. There are two categories, “fatal” and
“non-fatal”.
Fatal Errors
These stop the boot process and usually indicate there is something seriously
wrong with your system. Take the computer to your service representative or
authorized service center as soon as possible.
Non-Fatal Errors
This kind of error still allows you to boot. You will get a message identifying
the problem (make a note of this message!) followed by the prompt:
• Press <F1> to resume
• <F2> to enter Setup
Press
F1
to see if the boot process can continue. It may work, without the cor-
rect configuration.
Press
F2
to run the
Setup
program and try to correct the problem. If you still
get an error message after you change the setting, or if the “cure” seems even
worse, call for help.
