When you restart a PC, does it completely “shut down”? If it does, what tells it to power up again? If it doesn’t, why does it behave like it has been shut down?

The basic operations necessary to operate an operating system are stored in bios(the chip for Binary Input Output System). The operating system when tells that it wants to restart, the bios changes it’s order of operations from clean up the cache, shutting down, ànd the restart, and reload the OS etc.
