ABSTRACT:
A BIOS testing routine is initiated. Control is transferred to a diagnostic routine. The diagnostic routine performs a series of test in which a plurality of components are examined. In one embodiment, a random access/random data memory test is performed on a block of memory. Subsequently, control is transferred to the BIOS testing routine.
