A. What is Dual BIOS Technology?
Dual BIOS means that there are two system BIOS (ROM) on the motherboard, one is the
Main BIOS and the other is Backup BIOS. Under the normal circumstances, the system works on
the Main BIOS. If the Main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the Backup BIOS can take over while
the system is powered on. This means that your PC will still be able to run stably as if nothing
has happened in your BIOS.
