Every computer with a motherboard includes a special chip referred to as
the BIOS or ROM BIOS (Read Only Memory Basic Input/Output System).
The BIOS includes instructions to interact with the computer hardware. It
also includes a test which ensures that the computer meets requirements
to boot up properly. If the computer encounters an error during the test,
you either hear a combination of beeps or see an error message on the
