“If POST detects a faulty component, the component is disabled automatically. If the system is able to run without the disabled component, the system boots when POST completes its tests. For example, if POST detects a faulty processor core, the core is disabled. Once POST completes its test sequence, the system boots and runs using the remaining cores. “
