You might be talking about the BIOS, the Basic Input Output System stored on a ROM chip on the Computer Mainboard. It is the initial boot code run by the pc.

If it's actually ROM, nothing should happen to it; ROM is read-only memory. It's possible that the circuits could be so badly designed that switching off power would cause a power surge through the ROM which would damage it, but any company that designed their boards that way deserves to go out of business, preferably by being sued into oblivion.

They are called eproms or eeproms
Read Only Memory(ROM) Basic Input Output System(BIOS) or firmware chips are "Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory(EEPROM)" chips, these kind of chips can be upgraded by flashing.

ROM is Read Only Memory. Normally, data is fabricated into the ROM chips by the semiconductor manufacturer. Special mask(s) have to be made to store this data. Besides ROM chips there are PROM chips, where P stands for Programmable. In these chips, data can be stored by the end user. EPROM is Erasable PROM. A new type of ROM is OTP ROM (One Time Programmable).
