2. BIOS Basic Input and Output System records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the motherboard Its major functions include conducting the Power On Self Test POST during system startup saving system parameters and loading operating system etc BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows the user to modify basic system configuration settings or to activate certain system features When the power is turned off the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to keep the configuration values in the CMOS To access the BIOS Setup program press the lt Delete gt key during the POST when the power is turned on To upgrade the BIOS use either the GIGABYTE Q Flash or BIOS utility e Q Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating system e QBIOS is a Windows based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the Internet and updates the BIOS A Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS To flash the BIOS do it with caution Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction It is recommended that you not alter the default settings unless you need to to prevent system instability or other unexpected results Inadequately altering the settings may result in system s failure to boot If this occurs try
