Power On Self Test (or POST) is startup software on the motherboard BIOS. It performs a basic test of the individual hardware components such as the motherboard, RAM memory chips, keyboard, floppy drive and hard drive to ensure that everything is working properly. When a computer is turned on with the power switch (or cold boot), BIOS executes POST.
