Appendix A
POST Error Messages
The following table lists selected error codes that you may
encounter during the Power-On Self-Test (POST). The POST
occurs after you first turn on the computer. A successful POST is
followed by one or two short beeps.
If one of the error codes listed below is displayed on the screen
during POST, follow the instructions in the recommended action.
If you receive an error code not listed here, contact your Compaq
authorized service provider. You also may wish to run Computer
Checkup; see Chapter 13, Diagnostics, for information about this
utility.
NOTE
: If QuickBoot is enabled, the POST is minimized to hasten
your start-up time.
