Explanation
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is firmware embedded on the motherboard that initializes hardware during the boot process and provides a setup utility for configuring low-level system settings such as boot device order, CPU voltage, and SATA controller modes. CMOS is the chip that stores BIOS settings but is not where configuration is performed. MBR (Master Boot Record) is a partition structure on storage devices. VRAM is video memory on a GPU.
