Read Only Memory (ROM) is not erased when you turn off your computer. There is a chip called the CMOS chip on your motherboard that holds all of the hardware information about your computer and other things as well such as the date and time. That information has to be accurate are your computer will not start properly. The motherboard has a small round battery called the CMOS battery it keeps about 5V of electricity always flowing even when you shut it off so that the data in the CMOS can be retained.

What else can I help you with?
When a computer's power is turned off volatile memory does not loss its contents?
that's true! ...and NON-volative, by contrast, does lose its contest when the power is removed from the computer.
What is considered the short-term memory used by the computer that is erased when the computer is shut down or rebooted?
That's called RAM (Random Access Memory). It is what's called 'volatile' memory - in that if power to the chips is removed, they lose their contents.
Memory that loses its contents when the computer power is turned off?
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the kind of memory that loses its content when the computer power is turned off.
What is memory that loses its contents when the computer's power goes off called?
RAM or Random Access Memory
When your friend turns off her computer what kind of memory loses its contents?
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the kind of memory that loses its content when the computer power is turned off.
Memory that loses its contents when power is lost?
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the kind of memory that loses its content when the computer power is turned off.
What keeps CMOS from loosing its contents when power is removed from the computer?
CMOS Battery holds power for storing infos.
What type of memory loses its contents when power is turned off on your computer?
RAM, or random access memory.
Why are The contents of these chips are lost when the computer is switched off?
The contents of these chips are lost when the computer is switched off because they use volatile memory, such as RAM (Random Access Memory). Volatile memory requires a constant power supply to maintain the stored data; when the power is cut off, the data is erased. In contrast, non-volatile memory, like hard drives or SSDs, retains data without power.
Which is the correct path to access modem properties on a Windows XP machine?
wich memory type does not loose its data contents when power is removed from the unit
What is computer memory that requires power?
Computer memory that requires power is known as volatile memory. This type of memory, such as Random Access Memory (RAM), retains data only while the device is powered on. Once the power is turned off, any information stored in volatile memory is lost. In contrast, non-volatile memory, like hard drives or SSDs, retains data even when power is removed.
Read only memory - keeps its memory even when the computer is turned off?
Yes, ROM (Read Only Memory) retains its contents even when the computer is turned off. RAM (Random Access Memory), on the other hand, loses its content the instant power is switched off.
