Bios


Every computer with a motherboard includes a special chip referred to as the BIOS or ROM BIOS (Read Only Memory Basic Input/Output System). The BIOS includes instructions on how to load basic computer hardware. The BIOS also includes a test referred to as a POST (Power On Self Test) which will ensure that the computer meets requirements to boot up properly. If the computer does not pass the POST, you will receive a combination of beeps indicating what is malfunctioning within the computer.
