Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, according to the conventional computer system testing method, since the POST card must be set on the motherboard of the computer system, whenever the computer system is tested, the case of the computer system must usually be opened, which is inconvenient for users
Since the POST card displays the POST code received from the computer system in the format of numbers or characters, when the user is not familiar with the meaning of the numbers or characters displayed by the POST card, it may be difficult for the user to recognize in which hardware component an error has occurred

Abstract

An apparatus and a method to test a computer system, wherein the apparatus to test a computer system includes: a computer system interface module to receive one or more power on self test (POST) codes from a computer system; a control module to search, or determine, error information corresponding to the last received POST code, of the one or more received POST codes, where a new POST code is not received during, or after elapse of, a critical, or predetermined, time period; and a display module to display the searched error information.

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects of the present invention relate to an apparatus and method for testing a computer system, and more particularly, aspects of the present invention relate to a method for testing a computer system using information output according to a self-test operation of the computer system Apparatus and methods. Background technique [0002] A power-on self-test (POST) includes sequential testing operations performed by a computer system to determine whether the hardware components that make up the computer system, such as the keyboard, disk drive, and random access memory (RAM), are functioning properly. POST is initiated by the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) in response to the computer system being turned on. [0003] If the hardware components necessary to drive the computer system are detected through the POST operation, and it is determined that the hardware components are operating correctly, the computer system boots as usual. However, if the har...
