To start with, I will first look at what the BIOS is. Essentially, the BIOS is a microchip found on the motherboard. BIOS is essentially what is referred to as firmware. Firmware contains basic low-level software that controls the hardware in the device it is installed in. In the case of computers, the BIOS contains basic input and output software which is used to communicate with hardware. When the computer is first switched on, the BIOS software is used to test the hardware within and connected to the computer. Once complete, the software in the BIOS is used to access the hardware.

To start with, I will first look at what happens when the power button is pressed on a computer. When the power button is pressed, a circuit is closed which causes a test to be preformed of the computer’s power supply. If there is a problem with the power supply, usually there will be no power output at all and the computer will not start.

The BIOS is essentially a microchip on the motherboard. This is also often referred to as firmware. Older BIOS chips use Electrically Erasable Programming Read-Only memory called EEPROM, whereas modern BIOS uses flash RAM. This allows the code in the BIOS to be updated, but the code on the BIOS cannot be directly run from the chip itself.

The next step is that the BIOS performs a number of tests. These tests are referred to as POST or power- on self-test. These are a number of quick tests to check everything appears to be working. There may still be hardware faults, but the POST tests should pick up any basic problems.
