 Answer Key- W6
Part I: Multiple Choice

1. b) To control the flow of data between components

2. c) It processes instructions from programs
3. c) ROM
4. b) Make sure the computer is powered off and unplugged
5. c) A disconnected power supply

Part II: True or False

6. False (RAM is volatile memory and loses data when the computer is turned off)
7. True
8. True
9. True
10. False (In many cases, a malfunctioning motherboard can be repaired; replacing it is only
necessary if repairs are impossible.)

Part III: Matching Type

11. d) Temporarily stores data that is actively being used by programs

12. a) Provides power to the computer by converting AC to DC
13. b) Stores permanent data, including the operating system and applications
14. c) Executes instructions and processes data for the computer
15. e) Responsible for rendering images and video for display

Part IV: Practical Application

16. Check the amount of RAM installed and the CPU usage. You can also check the hard
drive for space or fragmentation issues. If the RAM is insufficient, upgrade it, or if the
CPU is maxed out, close unnecessary applications.
17. Power off the computer, open the case, locate the RAM slots, align the new RAM module
with the slot, and gently press it into place. Ensure the RAM is properly seated and the
clips are secured.
18. Check the power supply cables and ensure they are connected properly to the
motherboard and other components. If possible, test the PSU with a PSU tester or replace
it with a known working one to verify functionality.
19. This issue could be due to a faulty graphics card, motherboard, or display. Check the
connections between the monitor and graphics card, reseat the graphics card, and test the
monitor and GPU in another system if necessary.
20. First, ensure that the card is properly seated in the PCI slot. Then, check the drivers and
update them. If the problem persists, try testing the card in another system to verify if the
card is functional.
