cluding a quick test of the on-board RAM (memory).
As the boot process proceeds, the computer will tell you if there is anything wrong.

summary and prompt you to run the BIOS setup.
If there are no problems the system will load the operating system. Once that starts,
you can’t get into BIOS without rebooting.
The Setup BIOS Utility tells the system how to configure itself by translating in-
structions from the operating system, and other software, into instructions that the
computer hardware understands. manage basic features, identify installed devices
and subsystems (e.g. port configuration).
