QuestionQ24

Troubleshooting

A server powered down after a prolonged power outage. After power was restored, the system would not start. Several seconds into the boot process, the Num Lock, Scroll Lock, and Caps Lock LEDs flashed multiple times, and the system stopped. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the problem?

Explanation

Keyboard lock LEDs flashing during early startup indicates a POST-level hardware failure. A halt at this stage occurs before video initialization, so the display card has not initialized.
