4.    A technician has determined that a computer is failing to boot because of a power supply that is not supplying power to the hard drives. What is the correct course of action?
•    The technician should attempt to repair the power supply . If the attempt is unsuccessful, the power supply should be thrown in the trash and replaced;
•    The tecnician should attempt to repair the power supply. If the technician is unsuccessful, the power supply should be replaced with a power supply of equal or grater waltage;
•     No attempt should be made to repair the power supply. The power supply should be replaced with a power supply or equal or greater waltage;
•    Power supplies should always be replaced with components of equal or less waltage to avoid damage to the system from excess power to internal components.
5.    While performing routine maintenance, a user notices that the desk area around the computer is cluttered and dusty. After cleaning the desk area, what action should the user take to clean the computer?

6.  What manufacturing process makes a multicore processor operate faster than single-core processor on the same matherboard?
•    The multicore processors are designed to take advantage of more memory on the motherboard;
•    The multicore processors are designed with lower Level 2 caches on the chip, and they make better use of the cache on the motherboard;
•    The multicore processors are designed with multiple processors integrated into the same circuit;
•    The multicore processors are deigned to have better acces to RAM on the motherboard.
7.    When a technician is servicing a laser printer, wich two dangers need to be avoided? (Choose two)

•    Lead poisoning.
8.    You are monitoring a new technician installing a device driver on a Windows-based PC. The technician asks why the company requires the use of signed drivers. What would be the best response to give?
•    Signed drivers prevent physical damage to devices;An unsigned driver can cause files to be fragmented as they are processed;
•    A signed driver has passed Microsoft’s quality lab test and prevents a system from being compromised;
•    All companies making devices for a Windows computer have Microsoft sign off the new driver before it can added to the operating system;
•    A signed driver has been approved by the comopany that created the device driver.
