Explain the function of boot block during the system startup?
Boot block (4K,8L,16K,32K,64K128K) is portion of code in the complete BIOS(1MB5MB). who's responsibility is validate the main BIOS and transferring the control to main BIOS (checks whether BIOS corrupted or not and some other properties).
When you turn on the computer your time and date has changed to 10 years and the time always 12.Why is this?
The BIOS of your computer's motherboard has a "real time clock", but like any clock, if there's no power getting to it, the clock resets. Computer motherboards have a BIOS that are powered by a battery when the computer is off. If this battery dies, the BIOS resets to default values and will not hold time and date information. It sounds like it's time for you to replace the battery on your motherboard.
What program has control of an x86 computer when the user is able to choose which operating system to boot?
At this stage, the BIOS still has primary control of the computer. It has loaded a program known as a "bootloader", which loads the operating system kernel (or another bootloader) and hands control over to it.

Why BIOS is being updated?
The basic input/output system (BIOS) on a computer is a simple yet important program on a personal computer (PC) that helps the computer properly boot and run an operating system (OS) during startup. BIOS drivers are typically used in reference to the program itself, and how the program runs and interacts with other devices on the computer. The BIOS drivers on a computer are saved on a small battery located on the motherboard and allow for the proper initialization and startup of a computer when powered on.
How do you go to the CMOS?
CMOS controls the basic functions like the clock and is accessed through BIOS by pressing Del or f1 or f2 during startup
What stores the set of intructions that the computer uses to activate the software that controls the processing function when you tourn on the computer?
