An information processing apparatus includes a control unit to perform control and a communication control unit to operate as a normal mode for transmitting and receiving information concerning the information processing apparatus. At a time of startup of the information processing apparatus, the control unit executes a plurality of processing, and writes information indicating that processing has been completed each time processing is completed. At the time of startup, an operation mode of the communication control unit is shifted to a monitoring mode wherein the communication control unit monitors occurrence of abnormality based on presence/absence of information indicating that processing has been completed. In response to abnormality having occurred, the communication control unit outputs occurrence of the abnormality. In response to certain information being written into the predetermined storage area, the operation mode of the communication control unit is shifted to the normal mode from the monitoring mode.
