CHAPTER I
PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
The Importance and Functions of the Basic Input-Output System (BIOS)
Introduction
Nowadays, many computer users around the world encounter a problem regarding Basic Input-Output System (BIOS). It is usually seen when a computer failed to shut down successfully where one can read the phrase “Enter BIOS system” on the options but not everyone knows what is it for, how does it function and is it necessary to be familiar with. That is why we have chosen to conduct a research paper regarding BIOS. It is important to have knowledge or idea about it because of its many uses, importance and functions on a computer system that will be stated on the following chapters of this research paper. It is an exciting and interesting topic to be discussed and to be researched. Not only that, in this research paper, one can learn or have ideas on upgrading BIOS, what are the effects of upgrading it and why is it necessary to be upgraded and updated.
Statement of the Problem/ Objectives
What are the importance and functions of Basic Input-Output System (BIOS)? 1. To know the importance or significance of Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) in a computer system. 2. To increase the knowledge of people about Basic Input-Output System (BIOS); to know its history. 3. To enumerate the functions of Basic Input-Output System (BIOS). 4. To lessen the number of people who doesn’t know Basic Input-Output System (BIOS). 5. To contribute new ideas about Basic Input-Output System (BIOS) in the field of computers.
