What is It
Since we are done with the basic components of computer system, this
time we have to be knowledgeable with the fundamental parts of a computer.
Again, a computer is an electronic device that manipulates information, or
data. It has the ability to store, retrieve, and process data. You may already
know that you can use a computer to type documents, send email, play
games, and browse the Web. You can also use it to edit or
create spreadsheets, presentations, and even videos. Below are the basic
parts of a desktop computer, and each part plays an important role whenever
you use a computer.
A. Computer case - is the metal and plastic box that contains the chief
components of the computer, including the motherboard, central processing
unit (CPU), and power supply. The front of the case usually has an On/Off
button and one or more optical drives.
B. Monitor - functions with a video card, which is located inside the computer
case, that display images and text on the screen. Most monitors have control
buttons that allow you to change your monitor's display settings, and some
monitors also have built-in speakers. Newer monitors usually
have LCD (liquid crystal display) or LED (light-emitting diode) displays. These
can be made very thin, and they are often called flat-panel displays. Older
monitors use CRT (cathode ray tube) displays. CRT monitors are much larger
and heavier, and they take up more desk space.
16
C. Keyboard -is one of the major ways to communicate with a computer. There
are many different types of keyboards, but most are very similar and allow
you to accomplish the same basic tasks.
E. Motherboard - is the computer's main circuit board. It's a thin plate that
holds the CPU, memory, connectors for the hard drive and optical drives,
expansion cards to control the video and audio, and connections to your
computer's ports (such as USB ports).
17
E. RAM or Random Access Memory -is considered as the system's short-
term memory. Whenever your computer performs calculations, it
temporarily stores the data in the RAM until it is needed.
F. Hard Drive - is where your software, documents, and other files are
stored. The hard drive is a long-term storage, which means the data is
still saved even if you turn the computer off or unplug it.
G. Power Supply Unit – converts the power the wall outlet to the type of
power needed by the computer. It sends power through cables to the
motherboard and other components.
H. Sound Card – also called an audio card which is responsible for what
you hear in the speakers or headphones.
I. Video Card - is responsible for what you see on the monitor. Most
computers have a GPU (graphics processing unit) built into the
motherboard instead of having a separate video card. If you like playing
graphics-intensive games, you can add a faster video card to one of
the expansion slots to get better performance.
18
of devices into the extra ports on your computer. These devices are
called peripherals. Let's take a look at some of the most common examples of
peripherals
Speaker
Headset
Web camera - a type of input device that can record videos and
take pictures. It can also transmit video over the Internet in real time,
which allows for video chat or video conferencing with someone else.
19
Different Types of Computers
When most people hear the word computer, they think of a personal
computer such as a desktop or laptop. However, computers come in many
shapes and sizes, and they perform many different functions in our daily
lives. When you withdraw cash from an ATM, scan groceries at the store, or
use a calculator, you're using a type of computer.
Desktop Computer - are designed to be placed on a desk, and they're
typically made up of a few different parts, including the computer
case, monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
20
Supercomputer - is a broad term for one of the fastest computers
currently available. Supercomputers are very expensive and are
employed for specialized applications that require immense amounts of
mathematical calculations (number crunching).
21
What’s More
22
Did you ever format a hard drive, only to realize that the
computer doesn’t have a DVD or CD drive? Maybe you thought
the computer could be booted from a USB drive, but the
version of the BIOS doesn’t allow for that? So before you
will install an operating system to your computer, you
should be prepared with a bootable disk. A boot disk is a
removable digital data storage medium from which a computer can load and
run (boot) an operating system or utility program. The computer must have a
built-in program which will load and execute a program from a boot disk
meeting certain standards.

4. Clean the grime off with the cloth. Work in small circles, and avoid
direct pressure on the monitor. Do not scrape at any smudges; allow
the cleaner to dissolve them.
5. Let the monitor dry. Make sure that the monitor is completely dry before
powering it back on. This will minimize the risk of moisture damaging
the internal components.
To Clean the Computer Keyboard
A. Removing Debris from a Keyboard
1. Shut down the computer and detach all
connecting cables.
2. Turn the keyboard upside down to shake
out loose debris.
3. Use compressed air to blow dust and
debris out from the keys.
4. Use a dust vacuum to sweep up hard to
remove debris.
5. Clean around the keys with a cotton swab dipped in
isopropyl alcohol.
6. Scrub the keyboard with a cloth dampened in isopropyl alcohol.
7. Polish the keyboard with a lint-free cloth.
25
3. Using compressed air, dust the internal components of your computer
with short bursts of air. Try to remain at least a few inches away from
the surface of the motherboard, memory, processor, and expansion
cards.
4. Remove the dust buildup on your case fans with a can of compressed
air. Hold the fan with your finger to keep it from spinning while you're
blowing the compressed air onto it. Fan blades can be delicate and may
crack if spun too quickly. You can use rubbing alcohol and wipe the
blades with a cotton swab for the finishing touches. If the fans are hard
to reach or extremely dirty, feel free to remove them from the case for
easier cleaning.
5. Remove the dust buildup from the power supply using a can of
compressed air. If your case has a dust filter underneath the power
supply, be sure to clean the filter too.
6. A. The heat sink and fan that's mounted on your processor should be
cleaned as well. Again, with a can of compressed air and using short
bursts, blow the dust away from the heat sink and fan. If the buildup is
too heavy, you may need to remove the heat sink and fan from the
processor to get it thoroughly cleaned. Just remember to clean the
thermal grease off of the processor and the heat sink, then apply new
thermal grease before reattaching the heat sink to the processor.
B. o remove the thermal grease, moisten a lint-free cloth with 99
percent isopropyl alcohol, then wipe away the thermal grease from the
processor and the heat sink.
7. Finally, dust off all the ports on the computer with compressed air and
clean all the exterior vents with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab.

3. Remove both side panels. In this step, remove the front and top panels.
4. Now that the case is off, remove the internal components.
5. Now that the system fan is out, we can remove the CPU fan.
6. Remove the power supply
7. Remove cd/dvd drives
8. Remove hard Drive,portable Hard Drive Slot
9. Remove expansion cards
10.Remove connectivity cables
11. Remove RAM
12. Remove power button. The power button, power LED, and hard drive
LED are all within a plastic "chasis".
13.Remove motherboard.
27
motherboard. For SATA hard disk drive or CD/DVD drives use SATA
cable and its power cable, else use IDE data cable. Do the proper
jumper settings as per the usage requirement.
6. It is time now to mount the memory modules on the motherboard by
aligning the RAM to its socket on the motherboard and press it
downward. Make sure the side tab are fixed into the RAM notch. If not,
you may still have to press a bit.
7. Install the internal cards to its socket and attach the cables or power
cable to it. The selection of right socket or slot is required as per the
type of socket.
8. Cover the tower by placing it and pressing towards front side and screw
it.
9. Connect the external devices with CPU at its appropriate socket. It
includes mouse and keyboard at PS2 or USB connectors. Monitor at
the video output socket. Connect the power cable to the back of tower
in SMPS. Plug in the power cable to the electric board.
28
Move the drive to the top of the boot list.
Save and exit. For most BIOS pages, you'll press a key to do
this; check the on-screen key legend to see which key you need
to press. Once you've saved and exited, your computer should
begin booting into Windows 8.
