'''BIOS''' (basic input/output system) is a firmware system which runs all modern computers. It initiates during the booting of the [[computer]], and is responsible for initializing the computer's hardware, selecting an [[operating system]], and starting that system.<ref>http://smallbusiness.chron.com/purpose-bios-computer-69278.html</ref> Additionally, if the [[Graphic User Interface|GUI]] [[operating system]] encounters a serious problem which results is what is called a "hard stop error," the computer will usually revert to the BIOS to display an error message. This kind of message is displayed as white text on a blue background, and had become known as the "Blue Screen of Death" or simply a "Blue Screen."
