Troubleshooting

BIOS

The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is a basic control program for the data access between a computer and peripheral devices. Generally, the BIOS resides on a computer motherboard, a ROM chip of an extension card, or a flash memory. The BIOS checks the system and recognizes devices (such as serial ports or hard disk controllers) prior to starting up the operating system.
