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
distributor/supplier 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!) and you can then press
F7
(the
F7
on screen
will be
highlighted
to illustrate that the system is processing the request)
for boot
options.
Press
F2
(give the system a few seconds to enter
Setup
;
the
F2
on screen will be
highlighted to illustrate that the system is processing the request) 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.
