What else can I help you with?
What is the code on the BIOS called?
Firmware
What is bios data called?
It's called firmware.
What form of software can also called firmware?
That'd be software installed directly onto a piece of hardware which is the operating code for that piece of hardware. For example, a hardware RAID controller might have firmware on it that controls its operation.
Term refers to upgrading the firmware that the BIOS comprises?
The term for upgrading the firmware that the BIOS comprises is called "BIOS flashing" or "BIOS update." This process involves replacing the existing BIOS firmware with a newer version to enhance system stability, compatibility, or performance. BIOS updates can also fix bugs or vulnerabilities, allowing the hardware to support new features or components. It's essential to follow manufacturer instructions carefully during this process to avoid potential issues.
Can a virus infect the BIOS of a computer?
yes - If the BIOS of your computer is infected then, since it is hard-coded (firmware) on a chip, you could have irreparable damage. Also most anti-virus programs work within your operating system (Windows or MacO/S) so they don't detect BIOS infections. The only way to repair your BIOS is, if it can be, to Flashit. This is the process used to update the firmware on your BIOS chip. Check your computer or motherboard manufacturer to obtain the flash application, and the instructions for running it. Flashing the BIOS should place a new, uninfected version of firmware on the chip.
Which is not a reason to update your system BIOS?
The easier question would be what IS a reason to update. If your software or hardware does not support the functions they were meant to and your BIOS has firmware that can make it function, then this is reason enough to consider flashing yur BIOS. Upgrading BIOS is something you simply don't do on a whim as you could adversely compromise behavior and possibly indirectly damage other hardware.
What is BIOS acronym for?
BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System. It is firmware used to perform hardware initialization during the booting process of a computer and provides runtime services for operating systems and programs.
Which component is an example of firmware?
CD/DVD drives and printers use Firmware
What is the set of the computer programs that enables the hardware to perform different tasks?
Typically a Driver. However this can also include Firmware, and the BIOS/CMOS.
When a technician upgrades firmware on a motherboard he has to?
flash the bios
What differenace between bios and UEFI?
BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output system. UEFI stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface. BIOS deals with Hardware device code but UEFI deals with the firmware level.
Difference between software and firmware?
Softwareis programs which can be installed and used by the user for a specific purpose. Firmware on the other hand is used by the computer system for maintenance and security purposes, an example for thisis Windows Update.
