18. edundancy and fault tolerance theory DualBIOS technology simply means there are two system BlOSes ROM integrated onto the motherboard One is a main BIOS and the other is a backup BIOS The mainboard will operate normally with the main BIOS however if the main BIOS is corrupt or damaged for various reasons the backup BIOS will be automatically used when the system powered On Your PC will operate as before the main BIOS was damaged and is completely transparent to the user II Q Why does anyone need a motherboard with DualBIOS technology Answer In today s systems there are more and more BIOS failures The most common reasons are virus attacks BIOS upgrade failures and or deterioration of the BIOS ROM chip itself 1 New computer viruses are being found that attack and destroy the system BIOS They may corrupt your BIOS code causing your PC to be unstable or even not boot normally 2 BIOS data will be corrupted if a power loss surge occurs or if a user resets the system or if the power button is pressed during the process of performing a system BIOS upgrade 3 Ifa user mistakenly updates their mainboard with the incorrect BIOS file then the system may not be able to boot correctly This may cause the PC system hang in operation or during boot 4 Aflash ROM s life cycle is limited according to electronic characteristics The modern PC utilizes the Plug and Play BIOS and is updated regularly If a user changes pe
