  2. Windows 8 View the POST (Power-On-Self-Test) on a Windows 8

    I currently own a Lenovo (G50-30) Windows 8.1 laptop. I have noticed when the power button is pressed the only thing you see is: It appears for about 21 seconds then boots into windows.

    Windows 7 You might not need a new computer either

    Something I had never paid attention to before saved me from replacing my computer. The computer had progressively more symptoms of problems and I was convinced the motherboard was bad. The POST beep had expanded into a musical diddy that the AMI specs said indicated a motherboard problem. In...

    I found "solved" in the 'prefix' folder, however not in the choices when a post is solved. How?

    When I left the page to review solutions, I could not return to check other solutions. Having the 'Solved' option in the prefix folder is only available when you create a post. Once the post is operational, "Prefix" is neither editable or available. When I have a resolved post, I am unable to...

    I've done a search for issue and found none. I have a 2 Terabyte Seagate USB drive. When I try to boot with this USB drive connected to computer the POST hangs. Once I remove the USB drive the system boots as normal. My system also has a USB RF Transceiver for the keyboard and mouse. It...
  11. Windows 8 POST

    POST = Power On Self Test, right? Apparently not any longer. The word is now being used to describe the future of computing, as in POST PC World. Which sounds to me like Microsoft intends to leave we desktop users and apparently some of if not most of its' long time valued partners to our own...

    I've had 2 spurious emails sent from here but with Nobody <nobody@host.windows7forums.com> the sender. Both are stating that a post I put up 3 years ago has been deleted. Wasn't overly concerned but just curious as the msg was apparently generated as a private msg to me hence wondered if it...

    Windows 7 Lots of crashes after I sent back one bad motherboard. I want to make sure the motherboard is still

    I had my first motherboard for about a year before it started crashing, BSOD, locking up, USB ports going out until reboot, and finally not booting past POST.
