Andrew has a personal computer. one morning he starts his computer and finds the following error message "cmos checksum failure" what are the most likely causes of this error? each correct answer represents a complete solution choose 2
-
BIOS has become outdated
-
The CMOS battery has failed
-
The CMOS chip has failed
-
Software stored in the CMOS battery is infected by a virus
Correct Answer(s)
A. The CMOS battery has failed
A. The CMOS chip has failedExplanation
The error message "CMOS checksum failure" indicates that there is an issue with the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) settings on Andrew's computer. The most likely causes of this error are the failure of the CMOS battery and the failure of the CMOS chip. The CMOS battery is responsible for maintaining the CMOS settings when the computer is powered off, and if it fails, the settings may be lost or corrupted. Similarly, if the CMOS chip itself fails, it can result in the checksum failure error.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements about multi-or authentication is true?
-
He uses a key distribution center( KDC )
-
It protects a computer from malicious software such as worms
-
It involves two or more methods as part of the authentication process
-
It is a process in which a client process and a server are required to prove their identities to each other before performing any application function
Correct Answer
A. It involves two or more methods as part of the authentication processExplanation
The statement "it involves two or more methods as part of the authentication process" is true. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security measure that requires users to provide two or more different types of authentication factors to verify their identity. These factors can include something the user knows (such as a password), something the user has (such as a fingerprint or smart card), or something the user is (such as biometric data). By requiring multiple factors, MFA adds an extra layer of security and makes it more difficult for unauthorized individuals to access sensitive information or systems.Rate this question:

What is the difference between the USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394 bus standards?
-
IEEE 1394 is faster than USB 2.0
-
IEEE 1394 supports hot swapping
-
IEEE 1394 is slower than USB 2.0
-
USB 2.0 supports plug-and-play feature
Correct Answer
A. IEEE 1394 is slower than USB 2.0Explanation
The given answer states that IEEE 1394 is slower than USB 2.0. This is the correct answer because USB 2.0 has a higher data transfer rate compared to IEEE 1394. USB 2.0 has a maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbps, while IEEE 1394, also known as FireWire, has a maximum transfer rate of 400 Mbps. Therefore, USB 2.0 is faster than IEEE 1394.Rate this question:

Which of the following devices provides input by analyzing printed text handwriting or an object?
-
WebCam
-
Image scanner
-
Packet analyzer
-
BD ROM drive
Correct Answer
A. Image scannerExplanation
An image scanner is a device that provides input by analyzing printed text, handwriting, or an object. It uses optical character recognition (OCR) technology to convert physical documents into digital images, which can then be edited, stored, or transmitted electronically. This makes it a useful tool for tasks such as document archiving, data entry, and image editing. Unlike a webcam, which captures live video footage, an image scanner focuses specifically on capturing and digitizing physical documents or objects. Therefore, an image scanner is the correct answer to the question.Rate this question:
