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 dealer 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 cue:
<Ctrl-Alt-S> to enter System Configuration Utility or
Press F1 to Continue
Press
F1
to see if the boot process can continue. It may
work, without the correct configuration.
Press
Ctrl-Alt-S
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.
