When talking modern computers, its a chicken-or-the-egg question. A motherboard (hardware) must be installed before the operating system (software) can be loaded, but the MB needs a BIOS (software) before it can do anything. But that BIOS (software) must have an EPROM (hardware) to be loaded on to. The BIOS (software) can be designed long before the EPROM (hardware) but will need a computer (hardware loaded with software) to be coded.

This could go on, but since the very first “computers” were 100% mechanically based and existed, operated, and calculated long before software was invented, the answer is hardware.
