The basic input/output system (BIOS) on an Intel motherboard controls how the hardware devices connected to the board operate. The BIOS also checks the status of the hardware on boot to confirm that all devices are functional and is responsible for initializing the boot-strapping process. You can access the BIOS at startup to change the hardware configuration on the Intel motherboard. Depending on the motherboard model, the BIOS allows you to enable or disable devices, change the boot device or order, increase or decrease CPU frequency and other options. Tips Writer Bio
