After a reboot, video settings are reset to standard values stored in the graphics card firmware, and the maximum clock rate of that specific card is now deducted. Some overclockers apply a potentiometer to the graphics card to manually adjust the voltage (which usually invalidates the warranty). This allows for finer adjustments, as ...
A factory reset, also known as hard reset or master reset, is a software restore of an electronic device to its original system state by erasing all data, settings, and applications that were previously stored on the device. This is often done to fix an issue with a device, but it could also be done to restore the device to its original settings.
For example, in the x86 architecture, asserting the RESET line halts the CPU; this is done after the system is switched on and before the power supply has asserted "power good" to indicate that it is ready to supply stable voltages at sufficient power levels. [2] Reset places less stress on the hardware than power cycling, as the power is not ...
If the system has just been powered up or the reset button was pressed ("cold boot"), the full power-on self-test (POST) is run. If Ctrl+Alt+Delete was pressed (" warm boot "), a special flag value stored in nonvolatile BIOS memory (" CMOS ") tested by the BIOS allows bypass of the lengthy POST and memory detection.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) is an open standard that operating systems can use to discover and configure computer hardware components, to perform power management (e.g. putting unused hardware components to sleep), auto configuration (e.g. Plug and Play and hot swapping), and status monitoring.
Modern DIMMs include a Serial Presence Detect (SPD) ROM chip that contains recommended memory timings for automatic configuration as well as XMP/EXPO profiles of faster timing information (and higher voltages) to allow for a performance boost via overclocking. The BIOS on a PC may allow the user to manually make timing adjustments in an effort ...
Kay Bhothinard and Peter Field knew their home was in need of some TLC. But they didn't know it would end up on PBS's "This Old House."
