POST error codes

correctly and that certain options are set. This series of tests is called the
Power-On Self-Test
, or
POST
.
POST does the following:
• Checks some basic system-board operations
• Checks that the memory is working correctly
• Starts video operations
• Verifies that the boot drive is working
