Luke Skywalker wants to clean his RAM in R2-D2, what would he use to clean the RAM connectors
-
Water
-
Duster
-
Compressed Air
-
Isopropyl Alcohol
-
Battery Acid
Correct Answer
A. Isopropyl AlcoholExplanation
Luke Skywalker would use isopropyl alcohol to clean the RAM connectors. Isopropyl alcohol is commonly used in electronics cleaning because it evaporates quickly and leaves no residue. It is effective in removing dirt, dust, and other contaminants from electronic components without causing damage. Using water, duster, compressed air, or battery acid could potentially damage the RAM connectors or leave behind residue, making isopropyl alcohol the best choice for cleaning.Rate this question:

After the POST you hear 9 beeps what does it mean?
-
Your rustlers chicken burger has finished cooking in the microwave
-
Bad motherboard
-
Bad memory
-
Bad processor
-
Bad bios
Correct Answer
A. Bad biosExplanation
The given correct answer, "Bad bios," suggests that the 9 beeps heard after the POST indicate a problem with the computer's BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). The BIOS is responsible for initializing and testing the hardware components during the boot process. If the BIOS is faulty or corrupted, it can lead to various issues, such as system instability or failure to boot. The 9 beeps likely serve as an error code indicating this specific problem with the BIOS.Rate this question:

-
Increase data protection
-
Reduce phone bills
-
Reduce repair costs
-
Decrease data protection
-
Reduces system errors
Correct Answer(s)
A. Increase data protection
A. Reduce repair costsExplanation
Preventive maintenance refers to regularly scheduled maintenance activities that are performed on equipment or systems to prevent potential problems or breakdowns. By implementing preventive maintenance, data protection can be increased as regular maintenance helps in identifying and resolving any vulnerabilities or potential threats to data security. Additionally, preventive maintenance helps in identifying and fixing small issues before they turn into major problems, thus reducing repair costs.Rate this question:

2 face from batman
Correct Answer(s)
A. Command-line interface (CLI)
A. Graphical user interface (GUI)Explanation
The correct answer is Command-line interface (CLI) and Graphical user interface (GUI). These two types of user interfaces are commonly used in computer systems. A Command-line interface allows users to interact with the computer by typing commands into a terminal or command prompt. It is text-based and often used by programmers and advanced users. On the other hand, a Graphical user interface provides a visual and intuitive way for users to interact with the computer using icons, menus, and windows. It is commonly used in operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux, providing a more user-friendly experience for casual users.Rate this question:

What two methods of power management can be used with laptops? (Choose 2)
-
DPM
-
APM
-
ACPI
-
WPM
-
Bill Gates
Correct Answer(s)
A. APM
A. ACPIExplanation
APM (Advanced Power Management) and ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) are two methods of power management that can be used with laptops. APM is an older power management standard that allows the operating system to control the power usage of the hardware components. ACPI, on the other hand, is a newer and more advanced power management standard that provides more control over power management features, such as sleep modes and power states. Both APM and ACPI are commonly used in laptops to optimize power usage and extend battery life.Rate this question:

You go to turn the PC on, you hear a fan and see a red light. The PC fails to load, what is the problem?
-
No RAM
-
No ROM
-
No HDD
-
The computer has actually been infected by african pidgeons and all the components have been devoured in the search for chubakka
-
All of the above but probably not D
Correct Answer
A. No RAMExplanation
The given scenario suggests that when attempting to turn on the PC, there is a fan noise and a red light, but the PC fails to load. This indicates a problem with the RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM is responsible for temporarily storing data that the computer needs to access quickly. Without RAM, the PC cannot properly load and function. Therefore, the absence of RAM is the most likely cause for the PC's failure to load.Rate this question:

-
Destroy with a hammer (Hammer Time)
-

-
Use Darth Vaders powers to crush the HDD
-
Put on fire
-
Get Johnson to place in the microwave on 800 watts for 60 seconds and see what you can do in those 60 seconds while you are waiting
Correct Answer
A. Destroy with a hammer (Hammer Time)Explanation
Destroying the HDD with a hammer is the most effective way to ensure that the information cannot be accessed again. Using the death star or Darth Vader's powers may also destroy the HDD, but these options are not practical or feasible. Putting the HDD on fire may damage the information, but it is still possible to recover data from a burned HDD. Placing the HDD in a microwave is not a reliable method as it may not completely destroy the data. Using a hammer to physically destroy the HDD is a more secure and foolproof method.Rate this question:

You should always create a restore point before installing new updates or drivers true or false
Correct Answer
true
TRUEExplanation
Creating a restore point before installing new updates or drivers is recommended because it allows you to revert back to a previous state if any issues or conflicts arise after the installation. This can be especially useful if the new updates or drivers cause system instability or compatibility problems. By creating a restore point, you can easily undo any changes and restore your computer to its previous working condition. Therefore, it is advisable to always create a restore point before installing new updates or drivers.Rate this question:
