    RAM erases itself when shut down because it is temporary memory, not permanent like ROM. RAM acts as storage and differs from ROM in being temporary versus permanent. ROM is read only memory that stores permanent instructions. The CPU processes instructions and the motherboard is the main circuit board. The BIOS initializes hardware at startup. Keyboards enter instructions and printers output documents on paper.
