| 577355 | 2007-08-08 06:15:00 | . . . Both have beep codes for bad CPU Such messages can be displayed only if the CPU works to the extent that it can execute the POST code . You won't find a POST error message: "Missing CPU", though this could come . I suppose in a multi-core CPU, one working unit could decide if the others were dead . ;) But you still need a working processor to run the POST code . I've seen computers with diagnostic processors . They were big, expensive, mainframes . | Graham L (2) | ||
