12.1 Boot error messages
BIOS first performs a Power On Self Test (POST) within the boot routine to verify proper
operation of certain functional units of the PC. The boot sequence is interrupted immediately
if fatal errors occur.
If the POST does not return an error, the BIOS initializes and tests further functional units. In
this startup phase, the graphics controller is initialized and any error messages are output to
the screen.
The error messages output by the system BIOS are listed below. For information on error
messages output by the operating system or programs, refer to the corresponding manuals.
