What else can I help you with?
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.
How does the computer keeps track of time even after it is turned off?
memory is not accessed when the computer is turned off. If the computer is in sleep mode, it retains power until resumed. If computer is in hibernate mode, contents of memory are written to disk first before power off, and reloaded on power on.
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.
Is cache memory non volatile memory?
No, cache memory is a volatile type of memory, meaning the data stored in cache memory is lost when the power is turned off. Non-volatile memory, on the other hand, retains data even when the 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.
Why rom is non volatile memory?
ROM is involatile because its name means Read Only Memory, hinting that the data stored on it cannot be altered. The word involatile means long term and not changeable.
What type of memory traps the charge so that the contents are not lost when power is turned off?
flash memory
What kind of storage cannot be altered?
The type of storage that cannot be altered is known as "read-only memory" (ROM). This memory is typically used to store firmware or software that is not expected to change frequently. ROM retains its data even when the power is turned off, making it a reliable option for critical system instructions. Once written, the data in ROM cannot be modified or erased under normal operation.
What is computer memory all about and its function in a computer?
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.
What type of memory loses its contents when power is turned off on your computer?
RAM, or random access memory.
When all the data is lost if the power is switch off the memory is what?
inactive
What are two kind of memory in a computer?
That depends on what you mean by "Memory". If you are talking generally then there is Hard Disk Memory, Flash Memory, and RAM (Random Access Memory), usually when referring to memory in a computer though people are talking about the RAM. There are 4 types of RAM (That I know of) which are SD RAM, DDR, DDR2 and DDR3.
