what is mother board?

motherboard is the main printed circuit board (PCB) found in general purpose microcomputers and other expandable systems. It holds and allows communication between many of the crucial electronic components of a system, such as the central processing unit (CPU) and memory, and provides connectors for other peripherals. Unlike a backplane, a motherboard usually contains significant sub-systems such as the central processor, the chipset's input/output and memory controllers, interface connectors, and other components integrated for general purpose use and applications. Motherboard specifically refers to a PCB with expansion capability and as the name suggests, this board is often referred to as the "mother" of all components attached to it, which often include peripherals, interface cards, sound cardsvideo cardsnetwork cardshard drives, or other forms of persistent storage; TV tuner cards, cards providing extra USB or FireWire slots and a variety of other custom components.

what is CMOS?

CMOS stands for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. It’s not a device so to speak but a manufacturing process for producing specific chips such as image sensors (CMOS sensors) and converters. It’s used mainly in computer chips that don’t require much power but still need to run when the computer is off. An example is the RTC or Real Time Clock chip that keeps track of time and tells the OS what the time is even your computer is off, this chip still runs.

write the troubleshooting of display problem of computer?

The troubleshooting of display problem of computer are as follow:-

1. Run a thorough virus scan

2. Update your software

3. Cut down on the bloat

4. Test your Wi-Fi connection

5. Reinstall the operating system

Write the full form of GPU,UPS&ALU.

GPU:- Graphics Processing Unit

UPS:- Unlimitied Logic Unit

ALU:- Arithmetic Logic Unit

Write the different between processer and hard disk.

The different between processer and hard disk are:-

Hard disk

Ø  Hard Disk is a drive, which provides you to store your data for a long time.

Ø  data like music, images, videos and files are saved by hard disk.

Ø  Its basic measuring units are Gigabytes (GB) and Terabytes (TB).

Ø  You can uninstall and save new data according to your demand.

Ø  In case of more storage requirement, you can use external hard disk drive  as well.

 Processer

Ø  A processor is the logic circuitry that responds to and processes the basic instructions that drive a computer.

Ø  It carries out arithmetic and logic operations on the operands in instructions.

Ø   It performs arithmetical, logical, input/output (I/O) and other basic instructions that are passed from an operating system (OS).

Ø  It is the “brain” of the computer.

Ø  All the functions are processed by its two main function ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) and CU (Control Unit)

 

 Write the different between storage device and Output device

. The different between storage device and output devices are:-

Ø  A storage device is any computing hardware that is used for storing, porting and extracting data files and objects.

Ø  It can hold and store information both temporarily and permanently, and can be internal or external to a computer, server or any similar computing device.

Ø  A storage device may also be known as a storage medium or storage media.

Ø  Examples:- Hard disk, Dvds and Cds etc.

Ø  An output device is any device used to send data from a computer to another device or user.

Ø Most computer data output that is meant for humans is in the form of audio or video.

Ø most output devices used by humans are in these categories.

Ø Examples:- monitors, projectors, speakers, headphones and printers etc.

How to set date and time from DOS?

    We set date and time from DOS by followings ways:-

Ø  Right-click or tap on the date and time in the Windows Notification Area in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Ø  Click Adjust date/time.

Ø  Make sure your Time zone is set properly if your computer is displaying the wrong time.

Ø  To manually adjust the time, turn off the Set time automatically option and then click the Change button.

 Write the step of Reset CMOS.

The steps of Reset CMOS are following ways:-

1.        Power down your computer.

2.        Unplug your computer from any power sources.

3.        Remove your computer's battery if necessary.

4.        Discharge any static electricity before continuing.

5.        Open your case.

6.        Remove the CMOS battery. 

7.        Press your power button. 

8.        Re-insert the CMOS battery. 

9.        Reassemble your computer. 

10.     Reconnect your computer's power source(s).

11.     Turn back on your computer.

 

      Write the steps of install Driver.

       The steps of install Driver are followings ways:-

1.        Understand that most drivers install automatically.

2.        Make sure that you're connected to the Internet.

3.        Connect your item to your computer.

4.        Follow any on-screen instructions.

5.        Try manually installing the drivers.

6.        Restart your computer.

 

     When your computers automatically restart so, what you do ?

        1. Disable the Automatically restart feature

2. Check the hardware issue

3. Update all the drivers

4. Run a virus scan

 

Why are you using Jumper setting in hard disk & CD ROM?

because if you connect pata hard disk and CD rom with one cable so need jumper setting make one of  slave and another master.

Jumper are used to configure the settings for computer peripherals in hard disk.

jumper are used to CD ROM to restart the settings.

 

       What is internal command and external command?

         Internal Command

         An internal command is an MS-DOS command that is stored in the system memory and loaded from the command.com or cmd.exe. The       illustration shows how commands contained within command.com are part of the command.com file. However, with the external commands, each of the commands are their own separate file.

External command

An external command is an MS-DOS command that is not included in command.com. External commands are commonly external either because they require large requirements or are not commonly used commands. The illustration shows each of the external commands are separate files. However, the internal commands are all included in the command.com file.

 

14.What is Dos?

The system that makes the disk operate able according to the instruction is called Dos. It is a basic knowledge of computer. It is based on CUI (Character User Interface) and it is single tasking operating system. It is called single user Operating system. It can use only a single terminal. It is used to describe several very similar command line disk operating systems. 

 

 

15.Write any two external commands.

The two external commands are:-

1.)      Ms-Dos command

2.)      External Dos command

16.Write any three internal commands.

The three internal commands are:-

1.)      Dir

2.)      MD (Make Directory)

3.)      Copy con

 

17.Write any five value of Display resolution.

The five value of Display resolution are:-

 

Ø  XGA (Extended Graphics Array)=1024x768

Ø  SXGA (Super XGA)=1280x1024

Ø  UXGA (Ultra XGA)=1600x1200h

Ø  QXGA (Quad XGA)=2048x1536

Ø  WXGA (Wide XGA)=1280x800

 

18. How to change color of DOS’s screen?

1.        Open  CMD.

2.        Right click on the title bar.

3.        Select the properties.

4.        Click on color option.
