ABSTRACT:
A fast boot computer which has three user-selectable modes of performing POST operations. The user can select full POST or quick POST be performed, as in conventional computers. However, he can also select an intermediate mode, wherein the full POST is performed if and only if a given number of days (as programmed by the user) have elapsed since the last full POST operation. This permits users to set their own trade-off between fast boot operation and maximum reliability.
