COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -The CPU starts and fetches instructions into RAM from the BIOS, which is stored in the ROM.

Detailed explanation-2: -CPU doesn’t work with instructions from RAM. It merely executes the instructions given by the Operating System (which may be living in RAM). So even when there is an instruction to load some module of OS into the RAM, it is not RAM/CPU but OS itself that issues that instruction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Memory is also known as primary storage, primary memory, main storage, internal storage, main memory, and RAM (Random Access Memory); all these terms are used interchangeably by people in computer circles. Memory is the part of the computer that holds data and instructions for processing.
