ERROR MESSAGE HANDLING
Power-on self-tests are the system tests and component initialization processes performed by the
computer’s AT-compatible ROM BIOS. The self-tests first initialize, and then test the central
hardware. The central hardware must function properly before further system tests can be run. In
general, a failure in a test of the system board or its components halts the test and causes a beep.
Each time the system boots, the BIOS performs diagnostic testing of the various system
components. During a standard implementation, if the BIOS detects an error, one of the
following events occurs:
A message is displayed informing the user where the error occurred. Following the message, the
prompt “Press F1 to continue,” or “Press F2 to enter setup,” is displayed. The system pauses
