The bootstrap.
When a computer is first switched on, it runs code held semi-permanently on a dedicated chip, called a Basic Input Output System. BIOS.
This code checks that everything is in order, memory, CPU, hard drives, floppy drives, time and date, mouse and keyboard.
If all checks are OK it will then try and boot up the operating system held on the hard drive.
Parameters in the BIOS can be altered by the user, such as time and date and which drive holds the operating system.
The code is held, even when there is no power.
