POST (Power on Self-Test): Whenever we start our computer it starts with a single beep and then it loads the DOS. This single beep is a power-on self-test that is responsible to check if the power is provided to all devices properly. If any issues your system will not boot, and this way hardware will be safe from any kind of short circuit.

 

Any error during start-up cannot be reported on the monitor. You must identify a beep code that identifies the problem. These beep codes are designed as a pattern of sounds like one beep, followed by a second beep, and a burst of three beeps. In simple terms, it is (code 1-1-3) and if you are aware of these beep codes you can identify the hardware error.
