An employee complains that every time they turn their computer off, the computer's time is set to 12:00 pm, and the date is set back to January 1, 1990. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of this anomaly?
The CMOS chip is failing
The CMOS chip on the motherboard is loose
The CMOS settings are not being saved before powering off the computer
The CMOS battery has failed
Which of the following components is an example of firmware?
RAM
EEPROM
Cashe
BIOS/UEFI
Which of the following is a general term for the program that holds system information related to computer startup and has RAM?
CMOS
Cache Memory
DRAM
UEFI
When you do need to upgrade a system BIOS?
Whenever you install a new hard disk drive
Whenever a BIOS update provides functionality that is not currently supported, but is required by the operating system or hardware
Whenever the BIOS settings need to be modified
Whenever you add a new peripheral device, such as a keyboard, mouse, or printer.
Which of the following are benefits UEFI provides that BIOS does not(3 Correct answers)
Faster Startup times
Provides non-volatile storage of system startup information
Allows individual bytes to be erased and reprogrammed
Supports 64-bit firmware device drivers
Supports drives larger than 2.2 TB
What is the name for the routine that tests the motherboard, memory, disk controllers, video, keyboard and other system hardware?
CSST
POST
CMOS
BIOS
What is the role of the CMOS in a modern computer?
Test the hardware during system setup
Coordinate the use of system hardware with the OS
Saves information about system devices like the real-time system clock
Loads the operating system into memory
This RAM is more complex and fast and less dense, less power
SRAM
DRAM
To calculate the bandwidth of DDR RAM multiple this number by the bus speed.

The BIOS functions outside of the OS, and it is not dependent on it.
TRUE
FALSE
Power-On Self Test is a special set of ROM routines that run whenever a PC is booted.
TRUE
FALSE
If any device does not pass the test, BIOS uses a beeping noise (beep codes) to alert the user. Specific problems are indicated by different numbers of beeps, but the interpretation of these varies depending on the BIOS used.
TRUE
