My HP Brio Detects an Error at Startup
When your PC starts up, it tests your hardware configuration for any
problems. Your PC may emit a series of distinct loud beeps if a problem is
found during the very early stages of startup.
The BIOS in your PC then performs a Power-on SelfTest (POST). If a
problem is detected during POST, an error is displayed on your monitor.
If you hear a series of beeps, you should count them as this will help you
detect the cause of the problem. Here are some examples:
•
1 = absent or incorrectly connected processor
•
2 = power supply in protected mode
•
3 = memory failure detection
•
4 = video card failure
If you miss the beep code, turn off the PC, then press and hold in the
On/Off button for a few seconds and listen for the signal again.
This section describes what to do if your PC encounters a startup error.
