What post code does the BIOS give for a CPU problem?

  1. A series of high and low beeps

  2. One long and three short beeps

  3. One long and one short beep

  4. 3 beeps and a pause

The correct answer is: A series of high and low beeps

The BIOS does not give a specific postcode for a CPU problem. Instead, it uses a series of beeps to indicate an issue. Option A is the correct answer because it describes the most common pattern of beeps that would indicate a CPU problem. Option B and C describe beeps signals that are not typically associated with a CPU issue. Option D is not a correct description of beep patterns for a CPU problem.
