Science: What is the motherboard BIOS?

When beginners are advancing, they often encounter the "stumbling block" of BIOS. Not only is the name awkward, but it also has many functions, which also makes many players feel a headache. However, BIOS is very important, and a lot of knowledge must be mastered. In this issue of DIY, let's talk about BIOS from entry to abandonment.

What is BIOS? The BIOS in the computer refers to the Basic Input Output System, which means the basic input output system. You can understand it as a simple system before entering the operating system, which is responsible for the parameter settings before the computer starts, as well as the function settings in the system hardware.

Such as system disk settings, CPU overclocking and fan speed control, etc., can be completed with the help of BIOS.

The way to enter the BIOS is also very simple. After pressing the power button to turn it on, press the Delete (Del) key continuously. Some motherboards use the F2 key or the F10 key to enter the BIOS interface.

In fact, BIOS has also been developed for many years. In the early days, it was a very simple text interface, without mouse cursor, and some even did not have Chinese. All operations were completed by the keyboard. If your computer configuration is relatively old, you will see a very classic blue BIOS interface with color background.

Don't worry if your English is not good. The new BIOS is not what it used to be. Not only does it have Chinese support, but also the graphics are very friendly. You can also use the mouse to operate smoothly. Let's briefly introduce the operations required to realize each function.

Setup the startup disk:

Generally, there will be hard disk order settings in the main interface of BIOS. If it is an older BIOS, you can find the startup order in the "Startup" option in "Advanced Mode", and set the device that needs to be started in the first place. When installing the system with a USB flash drive, set the USB flash drive in the first place.

CPU/Memory Overclocking:

Find the corresponding CPU or memory in the overclocking OC tab, and you can set the overclocking voltage or multiplier in the specific options, but pay attention to increasing the overclocking slightly, not a lot at one time, so as not to fail to enter the system.

To set the fan speed:

The main interface of the BIOS will have fan speed and noise adjustment. Just drag the slider to set whether to prefer quietness or performance. For older motherboard BIOS, you can generally find the CPU FAN in PC health status to adjust the speed.

Finally, I want to remind everyone that when there is a problem with the BIOS settings and the system cannot be entered, it can be solved by resetting the BIOS. There will be a button to reset the BIOS on the high-end motherboard. Players can also unplug the motherboard battery and wait for 1 minute. Then install the battery back to the factory to restore the function.
