A technician is troubleshooting a desktop computer that turns on with internal fans spinning at high speed, but the system fails to display video and emits a repeating POST error code indicating a memory initialization failure. Which TWO of the following initial troubleshooting steps should the technician perform to isolate the issue?
- Reseat all installed RAM modules firmly into their motherboard slots.Cevap
- Test the system's startup behavior using a single known-good memory module in one DIMM slot at a time.Cevap
- CReinstall the operating system to repair corrupted boot files preventing hardware startup.
- DReplace the workstation RAM modules with SO-DIMM modules designed for high-density slot configurations.
Cevap
Reseat all installed RAM modules firmly into their motherboard slots, and test the system's startup behavior using a single known-good memory module in one DIMM slot at a time.
Reseating memory modules ensures proper physical connection to motherboard contacts, and testing with a single known-good RAM module systematically isolates individual faulty memory sticks or defective motherboard DIMM slots during POST diagnostics.
