Phoenix Technologies is a manufacturer of BIOS (basic input output system) products, which are used by many computer brands. The BIOS starts the Windows operating system and internal hardware components, such as video cards and disk drives, when the power is turned on. If an outdated BIOS fails in its basic function at start-up, then some hardware components or the entire computer may not work properly. Phoenix Technologies recommends that PC users defer to the computer manufacturer for the most appropriate BIOS updates. Tips Writer Bio
