POST stands for Power On Self Test. Basically, the computer checks itself for hardware and software problems. If it doesn't detect anything, it boots. If it does, it won't boot. This is useful because before boot is the only time the computer remains in the BIOS, so it is a way the computer checks the BIOS without the user having to do anything.
