I installed some games into this other 386 computer we have but hardly use.  I
didn't want to play this certain game anymore (Scorched Earth) so I got out
of it by pressing Contol + Alt +Delete.  When I did this, something weird
happened.  It went to a black screen and showed words like this:

	Resident Diagnostics	Rev. 1.09
	
	CPU (i80386)		Pass
	Cache Memory		Pass
	Parity Circuitry		Pass
	Interrupt Controllers		Pass
	DMA Controllers		Pass
	Keyboard			Pass
	Pointing Device		Pass
	Clock/Calendar		Pass
	CPU Protected Mode	Pass
	CMOS RAM		Pass
	Fixed Disks:		1 Present
	Floppy Disks:		1 Present

	Primary boot-strap				


What does this mean and what can I do about it?
