ROM
cold booting is simply shutting down the pc. warm booting is restarting the pc.
The memory module used to hold instructions for booting a PC and loading the operating system is called ROM (Read-Only Memory). Specifically, the BIOS or UEFI firmware is stored in ROM, which contains the necessary instructions for the initial hardware setup and boot process. Although the contents of ROM cannot be changed under normal circumstances, it is still utilized on various adapters and devices within a computer system.
The initialization instructions for booting up a PC, known as the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) or UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), are stored in the ROM (Read-Only Memory). When the PC is powered on, the CPU executes the code from the ROM, which performs a Power-On Self Test (POST) to check hardware components. After successfully initializing the hardware, it locates the boot device (like a hard drive or SSD) to load the operating system into memory and transfer control to it. This process ensures that the system is ready for use.
