BIOS (UEFI) Usage Guide

If you use a computer, you've probably heard the term 'BIOS' at least once. It's a term that often appears when installing Windows or when there's a problem with your computer. In fact, the BIOS can be considered the area responsible for the most basic settings of your computer.

What is BIOS?

BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System, and it's the software that runs first when your computer boots up. It's responsible for checking the computer's hardware configuration, setting the boot order, and other basic settings necessary for the computer to function properly. Recently, a new standard called UEFI has emerged and is replacing BIOS, but it's still commonly referred to as BIOS.

Why is BIOS configuration necessary?

Windows Installation: When reinstalling Windows or installing from a USB memory stick, you need to change the boot order in the BIOS.
Troubleshooting boot problems: If your computer won't boot or a specific device isn't recognized, you can check the BIOS settings to troubleshoot the problem.
Overclocking: When overclocking to improve the performance of your CPU or memory, you need to change the BIOS settings.
Adding hardware: When adding a new hard drive, memory, etc., you need to have it recognized in the BIOS.

BIOS settings aren't difficult!

BIOS settings might seem daunting, but with a few basic settings, anyone can easily do it. When booting your computer, usually pressing a specific key (F2, Del, etc.) will take you to the BIOS settings screen.

The BIOS settings screen varies depending on the manufacturer, but generally includes the following menus:

Main: System information, date and time settings, etc.
Advanced: Advanced settings (CPU settings, memory settings, etc.)
Boot: Boot order settings
Exit: Save settings and exit

Points to note when setting up the BIOS

Incorrect settings can prevent your computer from booting. Therefore, it's best to back up before changing settings.
You don't need to touch every setting. It's best to only change the settings you want to change and leave the rest at their default values.
Overclocking requires expertise. Care should be taken, as attempting to overclock without sufficient knowledge can damage your computer.
