Study Notes
Boot Problem Solutions
- Uninstall recent software or hardware that may cause boot issues; if it resolves the problem, consider reinstalling it.
- If necessary, uninstall Windows and revert to a prior stable version.
- Exiting Stable Boot Mode may help in resolving boot problems.
- Rapidly powering the computer on and off is another suggested troubleshooting method.
Boot Process Overview
- The boot process is critical for loading the operating system into RAM, enabling it to function properly.
Initial Step in the Boot Process
- The process starts when the CPU accesses the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System).
Post-BIOS Actions
- Upon activation, the BIOS checks that all peripheral devices are connected and functioning correctly.
Process After POST (Power-On Self-Test)
- After the POST, the BIOS retrieves the operating system from the hard drive and loads it into RAM for execution.
Role of the Kernel
- The kernel is a core component of the operating system, responsible for managing the processor and system components effectively.
Computer Readiness Post-Kernel Load
- After loading the kernel, the operating system performs further checks against the registry for configurations and customizations before the computer is fully operational.
