Summative Test

I. Identify what computer error is illustrated on the following situations.

__________1. The LED indicator of your monitor is in steady orange color.

_________ 2. When you open your PC, nothing shows up in your monitor and the
LED indicator of your monitor is flashing in yellow color.

__________3. When you open your PC it will show the processor brand and/or the
motherboard brand but doesn't continue. Usually this error will result to system
restart over and over again.

__________4.This also happens even if you try disconnecting your computer set
from the internet. This is what we called aftershock virus which will continue to run
even if internet is disconnected.

__________5. The computer opens up then boots but when the operating system
loads it doesn't continue and it will take a lifetime if you're going to wait for it to load.

__________6. This happens even if you try installing the hardware. When you
restart your set it will happen again.

__________7. When you try going to safe mode all you will see is a list of files in
Command prompt style.

__________8. Upon loading he operating system, you will hear a loading sound and
then the sound stops, when you try running an audio file, no sound will be heard

__________9.This will happen only in standby mode, when you move your mouse or
type something, your system will automatically restart and the worst part is it will
delete a file at random.

__________10. Just like the mouse problem, when you open a program that will
take the whole screen like for example a game and/or a program applications, when
you close it, it will cause your system to restart.

II. Choose the letter of the best answer:

1) These are moderately dangerous types of errors among those that can pop
up on your PC. System errors are caused by malfunctioning hardware
components, corrupted operating system modules, etc.
a. System error C. Stop errors
b. Runtime errors D. Device managers errors
2) These are caused by corrupted or malfunctioning system files or software
executables. Most runtime errors cause the application that caused it to shut
down. However, more serious runtime errors may cause the system to
become unstable or unresponsive, leaving you with no choice but to reach for
the Reset button.
a. System error C. Stop errors
b. Runtime errors D. Device managers errors

3) These are caused by corrupted hardware, especially malfunctioning RAM

modules and bad sectors on hard disks. Stop errors can be difficult to resolve
at times.
a. System error C. Stop errors
b. A Runtime errors D. Device managers errors

4) These are usually caused by corrupted driver files or malfunctioning hardware

components. In case of the former cause, the problem is usually solved
simply by reinstalling or updating the drivers. However, the latter cause can
often be solved only by replacing hardware components.
a. System error C. Stop errors
b. B. Runtime errors D. Device managers errors

5) These are caused by malfunctioning hardware components, and are

characterized by short beep sounds from the tiny internal speaker of your
motherboard. POST code errors occur when you press the power button to
turn on your PC..
a. System error C. Application errors
b. B. Runtime errors D. Post Code errors

6) These can be caused at any point of time. As the name suggests, these are
caused by applications while those are running. These are usually caused by
glitches in the program code itself. These are usually resolved by updating the
program to its latest version.
a. System error C. Application errors
b. Browser status errors D. Post Code errors

7) These are caused by problems faced by browsers when trying to access a

website. These can be caused by misplaced web pages in the server of the

248
 website itself, or due to connection problems. For instance, a 404 error would
indicate that the browser is trying to access a webpage that does not exist in
the specified location.
a. System error C. Application errors
b. Browser status errors D. Post Code errors

8) is define as the flow of electron or electric current. It is an invisible form of

energy that can be transform into other form of energy like heat light and
mechanical.

a. electricity C. Proton
b. atom D. Post Code errors
9) the amount of pulling force that makes the electron flow. Also known as
potential difference or EMF(electromotive force).
a. electricity C. Current
b. resistance D. Voltage
10) a type of circuit that has an open path for current to flow. It means that current
cannot flow in open circuit.
a. Open circuit C. Current circuit
b. resistance D. close circuit

III. Match Column A with Column B

Column A Column B
1. Used for installing and removing A. Screw drivers
screws in the computer unit.
2. Used for picking small parts in the B. Pliers and tweezers
computer unit.
3. Used for eliminating electrostatic C. Soldering iron
discharge in the work area.
4. Primarily used for connecting D. Lens cleaner
terminals in the power supply and
circuit board with the use of a
soldering lead.
5. It is a paste used for heat E. Anti-static wrist strap, mat and
dissipation of the processor. spray
6. A device used for cleaning optical F. Thermal paste
media, such as DVD-ROMS and
CD-writers.
7. A device used to crimp the RJ45 G. LAN Tester
connector to the UTP cable
8. A device used for testing the H. Crimping tool
network connection

IV. Arrange the following steps in verifying the correct protocols are installed
on the computer.

_____Within the configuration tab double-click the TCP/IP protocol icon. Note: Do
not click on the PPP or Dial-Up adapter, click on the network card adapter.

_____Select the option to specify an IP address

_____Click Start / Settings / Control Panel

_____Double-click the Network icon

_____In the TCP/IP properties click the IP address tab

_____When specifying these values, the computers on the network must all have the
same Subnet Mask and have a different IP Address. For example, when using the
above values on one computer you would want to use an IP address of 102.55.92.2
on another computer and then specify the same Subnet Mask.
_____Enter the IP address and Subnet Mask address, an example of such an
address could be: IP Address: 102.55.92.1, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.192
