This is the Basic Input/Output System and is installed on the computer's motherboard. It controls the most basic operations and is responsible for starting your computer up and initializing the hardware. It is data that is usually held in a ROM chip, which can be updated by "flashing". BIOS upgrades may correct errors, support new CPUs, support new hardware, etc.

Basic Input/Output System. An interface routine contained in a chip on the motherboard that controls how the system's hardware is accessed. Can be reconfigured by the user to change the operation (such as hardware boot sequence) of the system. Plays an integral role in overclocking and may allow users to change memory speeds and latency timings. The BIOS is stored in non-volatile memory and does not loose information when the system power is off.
