W2ITH CORRECT ANSWERS
Software - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Part of the computer system that consists of encoded
information or computer instructions.
Hardware - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The physical parts of the computer.
Firmware - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Provides control, monitoring, and data manipulation
of engineered products and systems.
Device Driver - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Operates a particular type of device connected
to a computer.
Operating System - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Coordinates interaction between hardware
and software.
What does BIOS stand for? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Basic Input/Output System.
BIOS - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Provides runtime services for programs and performs
hardware initialization upon startup.
Soft Power - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Front power button acts like a relay to initiate
various power system changes depending on how long the button is held.
Overclocking - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Increasing the clock speed beyond what is
recommended in order to get enhanced performance.
, What two components need to support hardware based virtualization in order to avoid software
based virtualization? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅BIOS and the CPU.
What is important when flashing a BIOS on a computer? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅An
uninterrupted power supply.
Beep Code - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A series of beeps from the computer's speaker that
indicate a problem. The pattern, duration, and number of beeps can sometimes indicate which
component is causing the issue.
Motherboard - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Computer component that contains all the
circuitry that allows other components to communicate with each other.
ATX - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Advanced technology extended (ATX) motherboards are
motherboards that have the processor and memory slots at right angles to expansion slots and in
line with the fan output of the power supply allowing the processor to run cooler.
Micro ATX - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Smaller version of the ATX though you can still it
into an ATX ready case. It has fewer expansion slots, memory slots, etc. than ATX.
ITX - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Motherboards that are developed at low power, small
form factor for specialty uses such as home theater systems. This family of motherboards
consists of Mini, Nano, Pico, and Mobile models.
Chipset - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A collection of chips that perform interface and
peripheral functions for the processor. They can be divided up into two main functional groups:
the northbridge and the southbridge.
Northbridge - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅This is the set of circuitry or chips that performs
the management of high speed peripheral communications such as video cars in PCIe slots and
processor to memory (RAM) communications. It contains the frontside bus and it may contain a
backside bus as well.
