In this week’s installment of Tech 911, a reader writes in to find some clarity, not solve an issue with a broken device or failing hardware. Said reader was probably poking around his motherboard a ...

CMOS stands for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. Even though it’s a small chip on your motherboard, it does a lot more than you might expect. First, let’s clear up a common misunderstanding: ...

Not all computer troubleshooting can be handled within your operating system or by troubleshooting specific components. Some key computer functions are governed by the CMOS (Complementary ...

When a computer powers on, it configures its hardware components prior to loading the operating system. The settings it needs to configure the hardware make up the computer's Basic Input Output System ...

The motherboard of PCs and laptops contains a battery that runs the CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) and keeps the computer's clock accurate. Although it may not seem vital to the ...

The AEFuse embedded, nonvolatile memory cores include what is said to be the first multiple-times-programmable (MTP) fuse fabricated in standard 0.25 µm and 0.18 µm CMOS processes. Offered as a ...

Researchers have announced the demonstration of high-speed spin-orbit-torque magnetoresistive random access memory cell compatible with 300 mm Si CMOS technology. Researchers at Tohoku University have ...
