What can cause the cmos configuration info to be lost and time and date wrong?
Dead CMOS battery, a virus or a motherboard going bad.
How can we temporarily damage the computers?
You can disable all the drivers in the CMOS. You can also remove the CMOS batteryAnswer:A DOS attack will cause temporary damage to a computer, but such an attack is illegal.
Why does my computer go straight to the bios?
You likely mean that it is going directly to the CMOS Setup. Every computer with a BIOS boots using the BIOS, but if the BIOS detects problems with the CMOS data, it goes to the CMOS setup so the user can fix it. What the BIOS does is verify to see if the calculated checksum of the stored data matches the recorded checksum. If they don't match, the CMOS settings are dumped and changed to the defaults, and the user is either prompted or taken to the CMOS settings.While the CMOS can be scrambled at random or due to misbehaving software, the main cause would likely be a bad CMOS battery. It could also mean the CMOS chip is failing (since some contain an integrated battery) or that there are other hardware errors -- such as a stuck keyboard or a bad hard drive. It generally should tell you why you are being sent there. In a rare situation, someone may have the CMOS jumper in the wrong place, perhaps because they bought a motherboard themselves and received it that way.
Why does a computer turn on if the CMOS battery is removed?
Removing the CMOS battery will not prevent the computer from turning on, it will only cause the information in the CMOS RAM to be lost (while the computer is turned off). When you turn on the computer after the CMOS battery has been removed, while it will turn on it will most likely not boot the OS correctly but will stop in the BIOS and require you to completely setup the CMOS parameters again before you can tell it to continue..
What is a CMOS socket?
A CMOS socket is to plug a CMOS transistor into. Alternatively, a CMOS socket is to plug a CMOS integrated circuit into. CMOS, by the way, stands for, "Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor".
Where is cmos setup stored?
Cmos ram.
Where does the CMOS password appear?
Modern PCs store the CMOS password in the CMOS memory itself.
What is cmos used for?
C MOS is the complementary metal -oxide semiconductor which is used to hold dates, time and system setup parameters.
Are Cmos in a modern computer?
Yes CMOS is available in modern computer. CMOS definition: Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor, or CMOS, typically refers to a battery-powered memory chip in your computer that stores startup information. Your computer's basic input/output system (BIOS) uses this information when starting your computer. CMOS-related error messages could be caused by a faulty or discharged battery. The battery can become discharged if your computer has been turned off for a very long time. To resolve CMOS-related errors, check the information that came with your computer or contact your computer manufacturer. Because your CMOS settings are specific to your computer's hardware, Microsoft can't provide specific instructions for changing them.
Is the hardware system configuration stored in CMOS?
yes it is stored in CMOS
Which of the following is not a computer language basic snobol cmos forth?
CMOS
What is CMOS often referred to as?
CMOS is an on-board, battery powered semiconductor chip inside computers that stores information and is also used as image sensors (CMOS sensor)
