    When you upgrade a videocard in a PC it is called:

    • A.

      Hardware Maintenance

    • B.

      Software maintenance

    • C.

      Normal maintenance

    Correct Answer
    A. Hardware Maintenance
    Explanation
    When you upgrade a videocard in a PC, it is considered hardware maintenance because you are physically replacing or adding a new component to the computer. Upgrading a videocard involves opening the computer case, removing the old videocard, and installing the new one. This process requires knowledge of the hardware and may involve connecting cables or adjusting settings. Software maintenance, on the other hand, refers to tasks such as updating or reinstalling software programs, optimizing system performance, or fixing software-related issues. Normal maintenance is a vague term that does not specifically describe the act of upgrading a videocard.

Exposing a computer component to a voltage higher than its recommended operating voltage can cause electrical overstress, leading to damage or even failure of the component. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the voltage supplied to computer components remains within their specified limits to prevent any potential damage.
