6-1 Chapter 6 Troubleshooting This guide provides information on how to identify and correct some common disk, display, memory, and software problems. It also identifies and explains some common messages you may receive on the screen, including specific error messages that may display during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) at startup. You will not see these POST error messages if your workstation is configured for the Clean Boot mode. Clean Boot is a fast boot process that suppresses most system messages during POST, such as memory count and non-error text messages. If a POST error occurs, the screen will display the error message. To manually switch to Descriptive mode during POST, press any key (except F10 or F12). The default boot mode is Clean Boot. Descriptive Boot shows all system messages during POST and takes longer to complete. To see the system messages every time you restart your workstation, reconfigure your workstation to the Descriptive Boot mode, using Computer Setup.
