Wait, is a cold boot the same as a hard reboot? Hmm, I should probably review my notes before the exam...

You know, I once had a computer that would only boot up if I did a cold boot. Turns out there was a hardware issue, but at least I knew the right term for it!

Haha, I always get these computer terms mixed up. But yeah, a cold boot is starting from a completely off state, not just restarting.

I knew that! A cold boot is exactly what it sounds like - turning on a computer that's been completely powered off. Simple and straightforward.

I think the answer is A because cold boot refers to starting a computer from a completely off state.

A cold boot is definitely the process of starting a computer from a powered-down state. It's the most basic way to get your machine up and running.
