Yes, a BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is typically stored on a non-volatile memory chip, such as EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) or flash memory. This allows the BIOS to retain its data even when the computer is powered off. The EEPROM enables firmware updates to be performed, allowing for improvements and bug fixes to the BIOS.
What else can I help you with?
Were does bios stored?
eeprom
Where on the motherboard is the bios?
The EEPROM chip which is meant to not be removed from the motherboard.
What is the name of the chip that allows the BIOS to be upgraded without removing it from the mother board?
Eeprom (pf)
Which solid-state storage technology allows a computer BIOS to be upgraded by flashing?
The solid-state storage technology that allows a computer BIOS to be upgraded by flashing is known as EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). EEPROM can retain data even when powered off and can be electrically erased and reprogrammed, making it suitable for storing firmware like the BIOS. This capability enables users to update their BIOS to improve system functionality or compatibility.
What is the special memory chip called where the BIOS configuration data is stored?
EEPROM (Electrically erasable programmable read-only memor)
Where is bios chip located?
The BIOS chip is located on the motherboard
A chip that allows the BIOS to be upgraded without removing it from the motherboard is?
sdram (WRONG!) Flash ROM is the correct answer (DING!) According to Penn Foster, the correct answer is EEPROM... so, take your pick...I got the answer wrong by chosing the second answer, My suggestion to you is to pick the third answer.
Where do you find bios directory in windows?
There is no "bios" directory in windows (or, any other operating system). BIOS stands for "basic input output system", and is a very basic set of instructions for the hardware to initialize itself and prepare to load an Operating System. BIOS is almost always held in an EEPROM on the computer motherboard. Accessing and changing this EEPROM can only be done through special programs specifically designed to modify the BIOS. In most cases, PC BIOS is not directly readable by you - rather, you can update the contents of them by using a bios flash program. This program (usually supplied by your motherboard or computer maker) is run, and provided with a pre-made image file, which contains the entire new BIOS code to be loaded in. This update program is an ordinary program, and can be run from any location (directory) on your computer.
What memory feature enables the BIOS to determine exact details about the memory module?
The memory feature that enables the BIOS to determine exact details about the memory module is called the Serial Presence Detect (SPD). SPD is a small EEPROM chip located on the memory module that stores essential information such as the module's size, speed, voltage, and timing parameters. When the system powers on, the BIOS reads this data to configure memory settings for optimal performance and compatibility with the motherboard.
Eeprom stands for?
EEPROM stands for
Where is the bootstrap located?
BIOS
What is a chip on a motherboard that holds the instructions needed to start a computer when it is switched on?
The chip which holds software that is used to start the computer is the BIOS. The type of chip may be ROM, EEPROM, or NVRAM.
