What does a BIOS do? The BIOS is a set of instructions contained on special type of volatile memory chip built onto your motherboard. As the name suggests, the BIOS provides a Basic Input/Output System… More specifically, it enables you to use the keyboard, see a display on the monitor, access the hard drive or CD drive, etc., all without the need for an operating system. The BIOS is the software that carries you from the moment you power on your computer to the point where the operating system begins to load, providing the instructions necessary to access the hard disk, memory and other hardware.
