Read Only Memory (ROM) is not erased when you turn off your computer. There is a chip called the CMOS chip on your motherboard that holds all of the hardware information about your computer and other things as well such as the date and time. That information has to be accurate are your computer will not start properly. The motherboard has a small round battery called the CMOS battery it keeps about 5V of electricity always flowing even when you shut it off so that the data in the CMOS can be retained.
