POST Messages
When the GoBook II computer restarts, it tests its hardware components. This test is called the
Power On Self Test (POST) . If the system finds an error during this test, it displays an error
message.
Some POST errors can occur before anything can be displayed on the screen. In this case, the
computer issues a series of beeps, then stops working. This type of error indicates a serious
hardware problem, and you should contact your supervisor or your organization’s help desk.
The most common POST error messages are listed next along with solutions you can try.
