CMOS
Separate memory chip, called thecomplementary metal-oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) chip
Stores the information that describesspecific device parameters
CMOS also acts as a clock to keep thecurrent date and time

BIOS
Called basic input/output system (BIOS)
Programming loaded into memory that
teaches the CPU about a particular device
Perfect place to store the supportprogramming is on the motherboard
On a special type of device called a read-onlymemory (ROM) chip

Losing CMOS Settings
CMOS needs a continuous trickle charge toretain its data
Motherboards use some type of battery,usually a coin battery like those used inwrist watches, to give the CMOS the chargeit needs when the computer is turned off
This battery also keeps track of the dateand time when the PC is turned off

Losing CMOS Settings
Few examples of errors that point tolostCMOS information:
CMOS configuration mismatch
CMOS date/time not set
No boot device available
CMOS battery state low

Reasons For Losing CMOS
Settings Common reasons for losing CMOS data:
Pulling and inserting cards
Touching the motherboard
Dropping something on the motherboard
Dirt on the motherboard
Faulty power supplies
Electrical surges Chip creepPCs run, the components inside get warm. When a PC is turned off, thecomponents cool off. This cycling of hot and cold causes the chips toexpand and contract in their mounts. While the chip designers accountfor this, insome extreme cases this thermal expansion and contraction
will cause a chip to work out of its mount and cause a failure calledchipcreep

Clearing CMOS
Whensomeone sets a CMOS passwordand then forgets the password
All motherboards have a clear CMOSjumper
