The computer POST (Power On Self Test) tests the computer, insuring that it meets the necessary system requirements and that all hardware is working properly before starting the remainder of the boot process. If the computer passes the POST, the computer will have a single beep (with some computer BIOS manufacturers it may beep twice) as the computer starts and it will continue to start normally. However, if the computer fails the POST, the computer will either not beep at all or will generate a beep code, which tells the user the source of the problem. This little utility will help you to lookup these beep codes and figure out what they represent.

as it seems to be the case with most rizonesoft apps: can't find it on their hp anymore
V0.0.1.168
All the foreground and background colors are standard. Take a look at my screenshot and you will see. Maybe something wrong with your display.
Great idea. Unfortunatelly, its unusable to me, because it renders black letters on almost black background.
(Hint to the developer: Not everyone is using a bright OS colorscheme. Either use default colors, or change BOTH, foreground and background colors - NEVER just one of them)
The link to the author's web page is broken.
Actually it seems that rizonesoft no longer advertises this software.
The download link is broken.
Softpedia has two pages for this app:
https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/BIOS-Beep-Codes.shtml
https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/Beep-Codes-Viewer.shtml
Both pages have a working download link.
