No.
The BIOS (Basic Inputs Output System) initially 'boot's the computer. You know how the computer turns on, then beeps? Before that beep, it is doing a 'POST" (Power On Self Test), a very rudimentary test that makes sure all computer peripherals are working. CPU, Motherboard, RAM, storage controller, video, etc.
If it passes, it gives the single all-clear 'Beep!' If there's a problem, it will produce a beep code to inform you what went wrong.
It will then initialize and configure your computer based on the CMOS settings, such as what speed the processor, RAM, and videocard run at.
Then it boots the operating system from a storage device.
It also, Behind the Scenes, manages many of the more basic hardware functions of the computer.
Without the BIOS, no computer would work.
The BIOS function in the 8086 microprocessor is called an interrupt function. It is an interrupt function because it is not called by a function call instruction.
BIOS provides the boot-up process for a computer. It is part of ROM.
AnswerA Computers ROM BIOS's primary 'responsibility' is to identify the components attached to the Mother Board, assign them IRQ's (Interrupt Request lines), and then perform the POST (Power On Self Test), prior to accessing a boot device and loading an OS (operating system). BIOS itself stands for "Basic Input Output System" which is self describing of its function, a hardware IO system to allow computer components to work with each other.
Most computers will use F1 or the DELETE key to initialize the BIOS console. Most computers are shipped with AMD these days.
As the "primary master".
My computer's BIOS was made by American Megatrends, one of the main producers of BIOS systems for personal computers. I think that almost all of my PCs have used their BIOS.
BIOS setup is accesses most of the time by pressing the DEL key on bootup. On some computers it is F10, F2 or rarely F8.
The CMOS contains user-defined settings for the BIOS. The Bios is a program that contains hardware instructions on how to start the computer.
BIOS stands for Basic Input/output System. It is software that is built into computers. A BIOS that can be reprogrammed using software is called EPROM.
You can check your computers memory by going into the BIOS menu.

Usually uses the same old Phoenix BIOS but like I have said many a times today it depends.
