BIOS Drivers — Common BIOS Driver Errors and How to Fix

Common BIOS Driver Errors

Your Windows PC not booting up? That’s a BIOS startup error and it is caused by BIOS driver issues. When a system has problems starting, it may display error message at startup which either come from the system BIOS (ROM BIOS or UEFI firmware) or will be generated by Windows like:

• Invalid system disk
• Boot failure
• Hard disk error
• NT boot loader missing
• Missing operating system

The key reason why your Windows computer not booting up is that your BISO drivers are outdated, corrupt, broken, missing or incompatible. Therefore, your first thing you should do is to check if the BIOS drivers have problems.

BIOS Drivers – What’s It?

BIOS is the abbreviation for basic input/output system and its primary job is to help Windows boot up properly and run normally. To achieve these functions, BIOS needs little software to contact well with the computer and interact with other installed devices & hardware. And the little software is the so-called BIOS drivers.
