BIOS

In computing, BIOS (Basic Input/Output System, also known as the System BIOS, ROM BIOS, BIOS ROM or PC BIOS) is firmware used to provide runtime services for operating systems and programs and to perform hardware initialization during the booting process (power-on startup).

See Nvidia System Tools and BIOS

Central processing unit

A central processing unit (CPU), also called a central processor, main processor, or just processor, is the most important processor in a given computer.

See Nvidia System Tools and Central processing unit

Computer

A computer is a machine that can be programmed to automatically carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations (computation).

See Nvidia System Tools and Computer

Computer configuration

In communications or computer systems, a configuration of a system refers to the arrangement of each of its functional units, according to their nature, number and chief characteristics.

See Nvidia System Tools and Computer configuration

Computer hardware

Computer hardware includes the physical parts of a computer, such as the central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), motherboard, computer data storage, graphics card, sound card, and computer case.
