After installing a new device you receive a POST error what should you do?
You can try resetting your CMOS to the defaults; otherwise I would lean towards a bad device. If resetting the CMOS doesn't fix it, try installing the device in another slot, and if that doesn't work, don't use the device.
What program allows the alteration of CMOS settings?
CMOS settings are altered by the BIOS program while in setup mode.
Why cmos consume low static power?
CMOS is a dynamic power consumer...whereas BJT consumes power always.... cmos consumes power only while switching from one astate to another state...i.e while switching
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".
What part of the computer stores data while it's being manipulated?
on a cmoputer chip
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 the difference between CCD camcorders and CMOS camcorders?
CCD camcorders and CMOS camcorders have huge differences, mostly the graphics and frames the camcorder may get. One may be HD while the other is only 240P
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.
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
