What is the first job the basic output system (BIOS) does at start-up?
- A.
Run memory byte count
- B.
Test for parity errors
- C.
Load instructions to random access memory (RAM)
- D.
Run the power-on self-test (POST)
Correct Answer
D. Run the power-on self-test (POST)Explanation
At start-up, the first job of the basic output system (BIOS) is to run the power-on self-test (POST). The POST is a series of diagnostic tests that the BIOS performs to check if the hardware components of the computer are functioning properly. It checks the processor, memory, storage devices, and other hardware components for any errors or issues. Once the POST is completed successfully, the BIOS proceeds to load instructions to random access memory (RAM) and start the booting process.Rate this question:

Which original component was very susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge?
- A.
Read-only memory (ROM)
- B.
Basic input output system (BIOS)
- C.
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)
- D.
Electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM)
Correct Answer
C. Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)Explanation
The CMOS is a type of semiconductor that is used to store the BIOS settings in a computer. It is very susceptible to damage from electrostatic discharge because it is a delicate component that can easily be affected by high voltage static electricity. If the CMOS is damaged by electrostatic discharge, it can lead to malfunctioning or failure of the computer's BIOS, which is responsible for controlling the basic functions of the computer.Rate this question:
