Generally not, but it depends on your operating system. Most computers will require you to restart and use a keyboard shortcut to access the BIOS setup while it is booting.
On power-up. You need to tap the escape key to stop the operating system loading, and enter the BIOS set-up screen.
When the computer is first turned on, (or booted), the BIOS program is in control. After performing a few system checks, the BIOS program turns the computer over to an operating system like Windows XP.
when you turn your computer on there will be a short key to go to your setup it will say it down then bottom when you see the acer logo E.G. myine is F2 umm when you click that system setup will start then use the arrow keys to navagate and find the bios password and click it by hitting enter then click disable or if it say current new then new put in your current and leave the 2 new ones empty and click enter then save your settings :)
You need to enter setup on bootup, and it will be displayed. When the computer boots up, it usually shows on the screen, if you can read it fast enough?
Yes. Any device that shows up in BIOS setup should also be listed in Device Manager.
Generally, no, you cannot enter the CMOS setup after you have booted. But it depends on the exact computer and if there is a separate CMOS configuration tool. In fact, the IBM AT was like that, and it required a separate setup program that ran after the computer booted. Some of the modern computers will let you change certain CMOS settings on the fly if you install a utility their utility for doing that.
when troubleshooting a computer, why might you have to enter BIOS setup? List three reasons
No, the BIOS wizard is to change settings on the motherboard and how devices are used. The setup wizard for a operating system is just started in the BIOS.
there is no bios setup program but BIOS stands for basic input output system
To manage simple devices (system BIOS)To start the computer (startup BIOS)To change settings on the motherboard (CMOS setup).
On power-up. You need to tap the escape key to stop the operating system loading, and enter the BIOS set-up screen.
The Motherboard configuration is stored in the BIOS setup
I think your new to the system if at all the cmos battery is gone when ever you start the system you can see the system that it directly goes to the bios setup and asks you config the system time,date, need to setup so because of this system will be waiting in that position . if not it will be asking you to press the "F1" or "ESC" key on your keyboard
To manage simple devices (system BIOS)To start the computer (startup BIOS)To change settings on the motherboard (CMOS setup).
Basically a program in the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) in a computer that can change the value of the CMOS RAM.
The bios
The BIOS is used to manage simple devices (system BIOS), the BIOS is used to start the computer (startup BIOS), and the BIOS is used to change settings on the motherboard (CMOS setup).
