All the settings from the BIOS are stored in a chip which is located on the motherboard. That chip is called EEPROM (electrically erasable PROM).
BIOS configuration setting is store in special memory called CMOS. Which is little powered by a battery. RAM is volatile so when computer turned off, all data lost.
This can also happen with CMOS but due to this purpose it is powered by battery. It consumption of power is very low and it can store data for 1 year.
CMOS stand for "Complementary Metal Oxides Semiconductor".

Where is the saved BIOS configuration data sotred?
BIOS configuration data is stored in CMOS memory. That is where all the basic hardware settings are kept. CMOS has traditionally been volatile memory, so a battery is required. Newer BIOSes often use NVRAM.
Where is data stored in a database?
data is saved by storing
Data and instructions are stored on special ROM chips on the board and are called?
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.
Can you get old data back after you saved over the old data?
no you can't. if you saved in ur new data, THERE IS NO WAY.
Which level of Abstraction describes how data are stored in the data base?
how data are stored would be in a physical layer
Where is the saved BIOS configuration data saved?
BIOS configuration data is available in several different forms. This data is actively stored on the motherboard of each individual personal computer.
Where is the saved BIOS configuration data sotred?
BIOS configuration data is stored in CMOS memory. That is where all the basic hardware settings are kept. CMOS has traditionally been volatile memory, so a battery is required. Newer BIOSes often use NVRAM.
What is the special memory chip called where the BIOS configuration data is stored?
EEPROM (Electrically erasable programmable read-only memor)
Where is data stored in a database?
data is saved by storing
What Vista configuration data is stored in the vista file?
Boot Configuration Data (BCD)
How do you change data stored in the CMOS?
Data stored in CMOS can be altered using a CMOS editor program. CMOS commonly stores the computer's BIOS and its content can be changed using the inbuilt BIOS settings utility.
On newer computers how do you usually change the data stored in CMOS?
By accessing the setup program stored in ROM BIOS.
Configuration data is primarily stored in the Windows 9 times you registry?
TRUE
Can the BIOS store data permanently?
The BIOS saves data on a CMOS chip that is still volatile like other memory, but it is typically powered by a CR2032 button battery. If this battery fully discharges or is removed, the data stored in CMOS is lost and the BIOS settings will automatically be reset to default.
How do you change the data in the cmos?
Data stored in CMOS can be altered using a CMOS editor program. CMOS commonly stores the computer's BIOS and its content can be changed using the inbuilt BIOS settings utility.
Will your saved data still be saved when you unplug the Nintendo Wii and plug it on another tv?
Yes, it will. The memory is stored in the Wii system, not the TV.
Is BIOS volatile or non volatile?
BIOS is a program (stored in ROM), not a memory.However the BIOS uses a battery backed up RAM to store a variety of settings and parameters. This BIOS RAM is itself volatile (it can only store data when powered), however the battery backup provides power to this RAM when the main power of the computer is off (making it act as if it were nonvolatile). When this battery dies the BIOS RAM will lose its data and (after the battery is replaced) the machine may have to be reconfigured from scratch before the machine will startup correctly.
