| BIOS is a collection of system programs, which are stored in the ROM memory of your motherboard. Those programs are startup softwares for any desktop or laptop. They are monitoring all components of your computer. The BIOS is used for startup settings of your computer. In BIOS, you can find all the basic data about your computer: list of components, speed of CPU, motherboard clock, temperature of system and processor, cooler speed etc. Motherboard has its own battery to support the BIOS. If that battery fails, the BIOS will loose its content and your laptop would not start. You can monitor motherboard and processor temperature in BIOS. You can also set shutdown temperature. There is a possibility that the BIOS of your computer is not supporting your new external hard drive. If your motherboard manufacturer publishes the newer version of BIOS for your version of motherboard, you may try to download and install that version. However, be careful because you could permanently damage your computer. |
