Alright, I know the thread name is very vague, but...
What exactly causes a CPU, upon initial powering, to start receiving instructions from ROM/RAM/Whatever. I know that when it gets going and has an instruction queue, it can take off and just do it's own thing, but how and where is the first instruction loaded? From the BIOS?
Clarifying this would be great, thanks.
