Security
This allows different levels of access to the BIOS settings.
What is passwords
This preforms a hardware check on the main components to check if the computer hardware is functioning properly.
what is POST
Interference from generators and lightning, that results in poor quality power, which can cause errors in a computer system.
what is Noise
This architecture uses a relatively small set of instructions and is designed to execute these instructions very rapidly.
what is RISC
Chip that performs the rapid mathematical calculations required to render graphics
What is GPU
With this access level changes can be made to certain settings only, like the time and date.
What is limited access
high-speed connection between the CPU and the Northbridge chip
This occurs when the power line voltage drops below 80 percent of the normal voltage level and when electrical circuits are overloaded.
What is Brownout
Two cores inside a single CPU in which both cores can process information at the same time.
What is duel core CPU
relates to the amount of information that can be displayed on a screen.
What is monitor Resolution
a UEFI security standard that ensures that a computer only boots an OS that is trusted by the motherboard manufacturer
What is secure boot
a program that enhances the BIOS by specifying a new model for the interface between computer operating systems and platform firmware
what is UEFI
Complete loss of AC power. A blown fuse, damaged transformer, or downed power line can cause this.
What is Blackout
This architecture uses a broad set of instructions, resulting in fewer steps per operation.
what is CISC
Measured by the number of horizontal and vertical pixels.
what is Resolution
A security feature that consists of two programs. The Persistence Module and the Application Agent.
What is LoJack
A legacy system for booting computers
What is BIOS
Dramatic increase in voltage above the normal flow of electrical current that lasts for a few nanoseconds, or one-billionth of a second.
What is power surge
a technique used to make a processor work at a faster speed than its original specification.
what is overclocking
describes when the image sent to the monitor by the video adapter card matches the native resolution of the monitor.
What is native mode
A chip designed to secure hardware by storing encryption keys, digital certificates, passwords, and data.
What is TPM
A memory chip that stores the boot settings
what is CMOS
Sudden increase in voltage that lasts for a short period and exceeds 100 percent of the normal voltage on a line.
What is Spike
A hardware feature supported by AMD and Intel CPUs that enables a single processor to act as multiple processors.
What is CPU virtualization
This is the diagonal measurement of the screen
What is screen size
