    The "It's now safe to power off the system" screen in Windows 10 and 11. Microsoft's Windows 98 was the first operating system to implement ACPI, [ 17 ] [ 18 ] but its implementation was somewhat buggy or incomplete, [ 19 ] [ 20 ] although some of the problems associated with it were caused by the first-generation ACPI hardware. [ 21 ]

  5. Booting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booting

    When a computer is turned off, its software‍—‌including operating systems, application code, and data‍—‌remains stored on non-volatile memory. When the computer is powered on, it typically does not have an operating system or its loader in random-access memory (RAM).

  6. Nonvolatile BIOS memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonvolatile_BIOS_memory

    Nonvolatile BIOS memory refers to a small memory on PC motherboards that is used to store BIOS settings. It is traditionally called CMOS RAM because it uses a volatile, low-power complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) SRAM (such as the Motorola MC146818 [1] or similar) powered by a small battery when system and standby power is off. [2]

  7. Cold boot attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_boot_attack

    In computer security, a cold boot attack (or to a lesser extent, a platform reset attack) is a type of side channel attack in which an attacker with physical access to a computer performs a memory dump of a computer's random-access memory (RAM) by performing a hard reset of the target machine.

  8. Trusted execution environment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_execution_environment

    Only trusted applications running in a TEE have access to the full power of a device's main processor, peripherals, and memory, while hardware isolation protects these from user-installed apps running in a main operating system. Software and cryptogaphic inside the TEE protect the trusted applications contained within from each other. [14]

  9. Memory protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_protection

    Memory protection is a way to control memory access rights on a computer, and is a part of most modern instruction set architectures and operating systems.The main purpose of memory protection is to prevent a process from accessing memory that has not been allocated to it.
