Question

Different between cold boot and warm boot

Answer 1

Answer:

Warm Booting

Cold Booting:

We are familiar with what the booting process is, in a common way. Now, question is, what is cold booting? This is the very first step that a computer takes when it is turn ON from OFF position. In the very first step, the microprocessor is initialized.

Warm Booting:

It is different from the Cold Booting because it is not done in the very first phase of starting the device. It doesn’t do the POST test. If the computer hangs because of some reason while working, and demands to be restarted to make it working. The process of reset/restart of the computer system is called as warm booting. It is done with the help of reset button or keys (Ctrl+Alt+Del). This testing doesn’t test the booting RAM because no power is performed on self-test.
