The OS communicates with the CPU via the "kernel" - which is actually a core part of the OS.

When an operating system is loaded into memory, the kernel loads first and remains in memory until the operating system is shut down again. It should load into a protected portion of memory that cannot be written to by any other process. A computer kernel interfaces between the three major computer hardware components, providing services between:

  • the application/user interface
  • the CPU, memory
  • other hardware I/O devices
The rest of the OS makes calls to the kernel, which then interacts with the CPU (or other hardware). If properly implemented, this enforces the principle of "least privilege" - one of the fundamental tenets of computer security.

Disadvantage of single user operating system?

Different types of operating systems have their disadvantages. In the case of a single user OS, it does not use the CPU, memory and other resources to the maximum. It also wastes a lot of CPU time since it executes one program at a time.


Why does the computer reboot before the operating system loads and just upgraded the computer's motherboard CPU and RAM?

Well, there are several reasons why it wouldn't boot to the OS. You could not have enough RAM to support the OS. If the CPU is overclocked too far it will not boot to the OS (heat or bus compatability issues) If the OS is unstable, or somehow the Kernel got altered (A Reformat would fix this) If you havn't reformatted since you installed the new MOBO, alot of times the OS will not boot There are a few others which i doubt apply to you, but I would try reformatting as this will most likely fix the problem. (Go into the BIOS and check your CPU temp, it should be running around 30, or 40 degrees Celcius) The operating system, which thought it was running on one lot of hardware, suddenly finds itself running on completely different hardware. It needs to be reinstalled so that it can configure itself for the new hardware. You can replace something like the hard drive or memory chips without that being necessary, but certainly not the motherboard.

Can you multitask with a single CPU?

No you literally can not multitask with a single CPU, since one CPU can only process one task at a time, because with your 32-bit and 64-bit OS the OS allots CPU time to the application for a specific time then the OS preempts the processing to give the CPU to another application, the programs may appear to be multitasking but they are not, that is called preemptive multitasking.
