I've been hearing about this lately and I'm wondering...

Hahaha...

I guess that's when you dump all of the data in the BIOS to a file to be read through a program. I've heard of core dumps (boo, hiss), stack dumps and memory dumps and they are all the same concept, so I'll assume that's what a BIOS dump is.

And oh, lol @ deathkoba.
 
Hi, BIOS memory is just more memory, but is addressed differently. With the correct program you dump BIOS menory the same way you dump any memory. You might dump it to a file and reload it from that file if you have problems. Not really necessary today. Jim
 
Some might mean a CMOS dump when they say "BIOS dump" - CMOS memory saves the BIOS settings so that your machine remembers what it is when you power up. About the only worthwhile dump on PCs is a register dump during an error condition. But with a BIOS dump, one could compare the running BIOS with the version DLed from the mfr's web site to see if they match. A corrupt Flash ROM could cause weird problems
