Volatile memory (or volatile storage) loses data when power is removed. Volatile memory is usually located in the CPU (various registers and caches), and system RAM. Volatile storage is much less common, and generally consists of storage devices made up of DRAM (dynamic RAM) chips.
It depends on which type and what browser u use.
Everything is lost except the stuff which has been saved manually or automatically. (such as browser history).
Anything you were typing in, between saves, at the time of switch off.
All your programs and saved data will be safe.
RAM memory loses all its data that is held. But the RAM is not the hard drive and any information that is on the RAM is generally saved to the hard drive before shutdown.
RAM
Volatile Storage
true
It is the level of secondary storage that retains data when power is turned off. For example: Memory is volatile if it loses its data when the power is removed.
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the kind of memory that loses its content when the computer power is turned off.
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the kind of memory that loses its content when the computer power is turned off.
RAM = Random access memory. It is a volatile (loses all data stored when the computer is turned off) yet fast data storage device used in computers. Reading/writing to the harddrive takes a long time, due to moving parts, so the RAM acts as a go between to 'speed up' calculations.
Because the computer can only run programs that reside in RAM. RAM is volatile; it loses its content when power is removed from it. "Storage" is non-volatile; retains its content when power is removed from it.
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the kind of memory that loses its content when the computer power is turned off.
the ram memory and the kernel cacheRAM
When a computer is turned on, it runs a Power-On Self Test (POST) to make sure the hardware is initially set and in working order before booting up. When you re-start, the computer never loses power, and so the POST step is skipped.
Yes, ROM (Read Only Memory) retains its contents even when the computer is turned off. RAM (Random Access Memory), on the other hand, loses its content the instant power is switched off.
