The BIOS is a program located in the Flash Memory on the motherboard.
This program is a bridge between motherboard and operating system.
When you start the computer, the BIOS program gains control. The BIOS first operates an
auto-diagnostic test called POST (Power on Self Test) for all the necessary hardware,
it detects the entire hardware devices and configures the parameters of the hardware
synchronization. After these tasks are completed, BIOS will give control of the computer
back to operating system (OS). Since the BIOS is the only channel for hardware and software
to communicate with, it is the key factor of system stability and of ensuring your system
performance at best.
