BIOS (BASIC INPUT OUTPUT SYSTEM)

BIOS is an acronym for Basic Input Output System. It is the program that stores configuration details about your computer hardware and enables your computer to boot up. Every time your computer is switched on the BIOS loads configuration data into main memory, performs a routine diagnostic test on your hardware, then loads the operating system. Every computer has BIOS. There are many types but the most common type of BIOS 's come from: AMI, Award and Phoenix.The BIOS tells the operating system in your computer how to boot up, where to load everything, what to load, whats memory and CPU are present and much much more.
