TestOut PC Pro 3.9.6

Make sure that both modules are seated properly in their slots.

After installing two memory modules, you power on the system to check for errors. You find that that BIOS program recognizes only one of the memory modules. What should you do first? • Make sure that both modules are seated properly in their slots. • Scan for new devices in Device Manager; enable any disabled memory modules. • Reboot the computer and run memory diagnostic tests on the memory. • Return both modules for a replacement. • Change the memory timings in the BIOS to a slower (higher) setting.

A) Software installation B) First boot of a new computer C) Hardware installation or removal D) Memory upgrade

There are critical times when memory problems often manifest themselves. Match the critical times with the corresponding descriptions of the causes of the memory problems. A) This can require more memory and cause problems if there is not enough memory at this time B) Memory is not properly seated, missing, or the motherboard is defective C) Incompletely or improperly doing this can cause errors that appear to be memory related D) The memory is not compatible and was not installed and configured properly

ECC

Which of the following is an error detection technique that can also correct the error? • ECC • Parity • EDO • Non-parity

Parity

Which of the following is an error detection technique that can detect errors with only one bit? • EDO • Parity • Non-parity • ECC

• Page fault • General-protection fault • Exception error

Which type of software-generated problems can indicate that a software bug is causing memory error? (Select three.) • Page fault • Parity interrupt • General-protection fault • Incorrect memory count • Exception error • Registry error

Either no memory is installed or the memory was not detected.

You are attempting to boot a new system. The boot fails and the system sounds a beep code. Which of the following describes the most likely cause of the error? • The POST failed to recognize all of the memory. • Either no memory is installed or the memory was not detected. • Either a card or memory module is not seated, or the system includes unsupported memory. • The new memory is not compatible and was not installed and configured properly.

Move the modules to the correct motherboard slots.

You are in the process of configuring a new computer. The motherboard has four memory slots and supports dual-channel memory. You install two memory modules. When you boot the computer, the BIOS recognizes both modules, but the memory is not configured to run in dual-channel mode. What should you do? • Change the CAS latency to a higher setting. • Replace the memory with dual-channel capable memory. • Add continuity modules to unused memory slots. • Move the modules to the correct motherboard slots.

• Install a third, identical memory module. • Move the modules to the correct motherboard slots.

You are in the process of configuring a new computer. The motherboard has six memory slots and supports triple-channel memory. You install two memory modules. When you boot the computer, the BIOS recognizes both modules, but the memory only runs in dual-channel mode. What should you do? (Select two.) • Add continuity modules to unused memory slots. • Change the CAS latency to a higher setting. • Install a third, identical memory module. • Move the modules to the correct motherboard slots. • Replace the memory with triple-channel capable memory.

Install a 64-bit version of the operating system.

You have installed a new computer with a quad-core 64-bit processor, 6 GB of memory, and a PCIe video card with 512 MB of memory. After installing the operating system, you see less than 4 GB of memory showing as available in Windows. What should you do? • Install a 64-bit version of the operating system. • Flash the BIOS. • Update the memory controller driver in Device Manager. • Disable the AGP aperature in the BIOS.

Memory not installed or detected

You have just built a new system from scratch. You turn the computer on but the system boot fails and sounds a beep code. What might be the issue? • Memory not installed or detected • Incapable memory was installed • New and old memory has been mixed • The system includes unsupported memory

Connect the power button to the motherboard.

You just replaced the motherboard in your computer. Now your computer will not start. You press the power button on the system case, but nothing happens; there are no sounds or lights. What should you do? • Connect the processor fan to the motherboard. • Connect the power button to the motherboard. • Make sure the keyboard and mouse is plugged in. • Make sure the memory is properly seated.
