Multiple Select

Select all statements that correctly describe monitor troubleshooting steps.

1

Monitor Self-Test allows the monitor to check its own functions without a signal from the PC.

2

Standard Windows installation extension

.exe

Executable files start the install process.

Software involved with running the computer

System software

Includes the OS (Windows, macOS).

Default folder for downloaded .exe files

Multiple Choice

How would you propose a troubleshooting sequence for a computer that powers on (fans spin) but shows no image and emits a series of beep codes?

1

1. Turn off and on 10 times, 2. Give up.

2

1. Run Disk Cleanup, 2. Check mouse, 3. Reinstall Windows.

3

1. Replace monitor, 2. Replace keyboard, 3. Replace power supply.

4

1. Identify BIOS brand, 2. Count beeps, 3. Lookup beep code for failed component.

26

Fill in the Blanks

The monitor LED stays on during a self-test but the screen is blank. This most likely means the

requires service.

27

Multiple Choice

What is the role of firmware in an engineered system?

1

To provide high-level games and apps.

2

To replace the operating system entirely.

3

To act as a physical shield for the CPU.

4

To provide low-level control, monitoring, and data manipulation.

28

Multiple Choice

During the POST process, why are beep codes used instead of screen messages in the initial stage?

1

To save power during start-up.

2

Because the monitor cannot show text in color.

3

Because the internal speaker is the loudest part.

4

Because the video system hasn't been tested or initialized yet.

29

Multiple Choice

Select all correct statements about the responsibilities of a technician regarding health and safety problems.

1

Safety problems should be reported immediately to protect people.

2

It is appropriate to wait until the end of the shift to report hazards.

3

Work productivity should come before safety.

4

Only managers should report safety problems.

30

Open Ended

Explain why a user should choose a cloud-based antivirus over a traditional definition-based one for a computer with very little hard drive space.

34

Multiple Choice

How does the 'Cloud-based' antivirus model differ from the 'Definition-download' model?

1

There is no difference between them.

2

Cloud-based uses more hard drive space.

3

Definition-downloading is safer for the internet.

4

Cloud-based scans faster and uses less local space.

35

Multiple Choice

1

Cause: Ignore updates -> Effect: Computer crashes.

2

Cause: Ignore updates -> Effect: The hard drive grows larger.

3

Cause: Ignore updates -> Effect: The computer becomes a mobile app.

4

Cause: Ignore updates -> Effect: Security vulnerabilities remain unpatched.
