Power On Self Test (or POST) is startup software on the motherboard BIOS. It performs a basic test of the individual hardware components such as the motherboard, RAM memory chips, keyboard, floppy drive and hard drive to ensure that everything is working properly. When a computer is turned on with the power switch (or cold boot), BIOS executes POST.
Volatile memory is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information. Non-volatile random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned off. There is random access memory, cache memory, read only memory, virtual memory and flash memory.
Main computer memory is called volatile memory. It holds data only as long as it is provided power. When you turn off the computer, you remove power from the memory chips and they loose the ability to hold data. If you want to keep your information, ensure you save it to the computer hard drive before you switch off the computer.
??? WHA???Why would you think you need one? Every time you turn off your computer, RAM forgets everything. It's referred to as "volatile memory" because the power switch erases RAM every time the computer shuts down.
