ROM memory in a computer normally contains BIOS (Basic Input/Output System), which is the first program to run once a computer is switched on, before the operating system loads. It initializes and tests the system hardware. BIOS can be modified by flashing a new firmware, though it is not normally recommended.

Why does a computer system need ROM?
