Where does the CMOS power come from when the computer is off?

The complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) power comes from the CMOS battery located on the motherboard. This battery powers the Basic Input Output System (BIOS) and stores the start-up config for the computer.


The basic data and instructions used to start the computer are called?

It's a mixture of things. BIOS, CMOS, Operating system.


How can you rectify the CMOS checksum error on your computer?

Generally, a "CMOS error" will occur if one of the following has happened:The configuration of the computer has significantly changed. Simply entering the BIOS and saving should remove the error message.The backup battery has gone dead. You can check for this by seeing if the time is incorrect in the BIOS. You would need to purchase a replacement battery.A checksum error can occur if the BIOS has been updated, or if some external program has modified the CMOS settings. Again, simply entering the BIOS and saving should fix the message.


Do you need a cmos battery for your computer to boot?

Most new computers can automatically determine the correct settings needed for your hardware, and some even store configuration data in a non-volatile Flash chip. These computers effectively do not need a CMOS battery for anything except maintaining the correct time. Older computers, where you had to specify the parameters for the hard drive in the BIOS, need a CMOS battery. Otherwise, you would have to enter them in every time you booted the computer.

When was the CMOS made for the computer?

If you mean the CMOS setup, then it was likely made around 1984. That was the year that IBM released the AT computer. That was the first to make use of CMOS settings. If you mean CMOS-based logic chips, they have been around since at least the the mid 1970's.

How can the CMOS be cleared on the computer?

There are three ways to clear the CMOS on a computer. You can access the BIOS menu and reset the BIOS settings, you can use the motherboard jumper or clear it by reseating the CMOS battery.


Are Cmos in a modern computer?

Yes CMOS is available in modern computer. CMOS definition: Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor, or CMOS, typically refers to a battery-powered memory chip in your computer that stores startup information. Your computer's basic input/output system (BIOS) uses this information when starting your computer. CMOS-related error messages could be caused by a faulty or discharged battery. The battery can become discharged if your computer has been turned off for a very long time. To resolve CMOS-related errors, check the information that came with your computer or contact your computer manufacturer. Because your CMOS settings are specific to your computer's hardware, Microsoft can't provide specific instructions for changing them.


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..


When you restart your computer the error message cmos setting wrong and cmos cheksum bad comes up?

Chances are that the CMOS Battery on the motherboard is dead and needs to be replaced. Without this battery, the computer can not remember the CMOS settings when the power is turned off.

Where does the CMOS RAM receives its power when the computer is not turned on?

The CMOS is run off of a battery on the motherboard.


How does CMOS work?

CMOS is the little battery in the computer's motherboard which keeps the computers internal clock running.


Why do you have to have CMOS settings?

The CMOS remembers the time and date settings of the computer, and also remembers the Hardware settings.
