    Booting Up Process of A Computer

    The booting process involves loading the operating system from secondary storage to main memory. When the computer is turned on, the power supply converts AC to DC power and supplies it to components. The BIOS firmware is activated and runs POST to check components like RAM, CPU etc. If all components pass the test, a single beep sounds. If not, multiple beeps or no beep indicates a problem. The BIOS loads the MBR which loads the operating system into main memory from secondary storage. The operating system then takes control of the computer.

    This uses CMOS memory because no other


    memories are still functional

    CMOS is the memory used to remember the


    personal BIOS firmware settings like
    date and time,
    hardware settings,
    fan speed,
    boot sequence etc.
    It activates BIOS firmware after the computer is powered off

    BIOS is a nonvolatile and read only firmware

    Then BIOS reads the MBR ( Master Boot Record )
    in accordance with the bootstrap loader

    CMOS is volatile and needs constant power to


    maintain its settings. It is powered by a battery

    Then the operating system in the secondary


    storage ( boot drive ) is loaded into the main
    memory ( RAM - Random Access Memory ) of the
    computer. This is the phase where the loading
    screen of the Operating System appear

    If the CMOS chip looses power, the BIOS settings After completing this step, the operating system
