The computer POST (power-on self-test) checks a computer's internal hardware for
compatibility and connection before starting the remainder of the boot process. If
the computer passes the POST, the computer may give a single beep (some
computers may beep twice) as it starts and continue to boot. However, if the
computer fails the POST, the computer will either not beep or generate a beep code
that tells the user the source of the problem.
If your computer has an irregular POST or a beep code not mentioned below, follow the
POST troubleshooting steps to determine the failing hardware component.

Below are the AMI BIOS Beep codes that can occur. However, because of the wide variety
of different computer manufacturers with this BIOS, the beep codes may vary.
Below are Award BIOS Beep codes that can occur. However, because of the wide variety

CPU
Tip: The CPU is often referred to as the brain of the computer. However, it is more
appropriate to refer to software as the brain and the CPU as a very efficient calculator.
Note: Many new computer users may improperly call their computer and sometimes
their monitor the CPU. When referring to your computer or monitor, it is proper to refer
to them as either the "computer" or "monitor" and not a CPU.
The picture below is an example of what the top and bottom of an Intel Pentium
processor. The processor is placed and secured into a compatible CPU socket found on the
motherboard. Processors produce heat so are covered with a heat sink to keep them cool
and running smoothly.

What is CPU (Central Processing Unit)?
As you can see in the above picture, the CPU chip is usually in the shape of a square or
rectangle and has one notched corner to help place the chip properly into the CPU socket.
On the bottom of the chip are hundreds of connector pins that plug into each of the

corresponding holes in the socket. Today, most CPU's resemble the picture shown above;
however, Intel and AMD have also experimented with slot processors that were much
larger and slid into a slot on the motherboard. Also, over the years there have been
dozens of different types of sockets on motherboards. Each socket only supports specific
types of processors, and each has its own pin layout.
In the CPU, the primary components are the ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) that performs
mathematical, logical, and decision operations and the CU (Control Unit) that directs all of
the processors operations.
Over the history of computer processors, the speed (clock speed) and capabilities of the
processor have dramatically improved. For example, the first microprocessor was the Intel
4004 that was released November 15, 1971, and had 2,300 transistors and performed
60,000 operations per second. The Intel Pentium processor pictured above has 3,300,000
transistors and performs around 188,000,000 instructions per second.
Types of CPUs
In the past, computer processors used numbers to identify the processor and help identify
faster processors. For example, the Intel 80486 (486) processor is faster than the 80386
(386) processor. After the replace of the Intel Pentium processor (which would technically
be the 80586), all computer processors started using names like Athlon, Duron, and
Pentium.

What is CPU (Central Processing Unit)?
Today, in addition to the different names of computer processors there are different
architectures (32-bit and 64-bit), speeds, and capabilities. Below is a list of the more
common types of CPUs for home or business computers.
Note: There are multiple versions for some of these CPU types.
AMD processors
Intel processors
The AMD Opteron series and Intel Itanium and Xeon series are CPUs used with for servers
and high-end workstation computers.
