Due to this issue, users eventually cannot proceed beyond the POST-milestone failure and ultimately can no longer boot to the OS.
Verification
In some instances, the integrity of the system, though intermittent, may allow for users to overcome POST "failed" milestone and obtain OBP access (ok prompt) and then boot the OS long enough to gather diagnostic data, such as an explorer. However, if this is not obtainable, gathering information from the system controller will be the remaining avenue by which to gather needed data for effective diagnosis.
