    When you first turn on a computer, the COU is preset to execute instructions stored in

    A)  RAM   

    B)         Flash memory

    C)  ROM

    D)  CD-ROM

    E)  ALU

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Read-only memory is most commonly used to store system-level programs that we want to have available to the PC at all times. The most common example is the system BIOS program, which is stored in the system BIOS ROM. Having this in a permanent ROM means it is available when the power is turned on so that the PC can use it to boot up the system. So when we first turn on a computer, the system memory is empty, so the system BIOS ROM kicks in.
