- G.
Gains Memory
Correct Answer(s)
A. Computer Runs Slowly
C. Computer Turns Off Randomly
D. The Computer Restarts OftenExplanation
The correct answer is "Computer Runs Slowly, Computer Turns Off Randomly, The Computer Restarts Often." These symptoms indicate that the computer may be overheating. When a computer gets too hot, it can cause the processor to slow down, leading to slow performance. Additionally, overheating can trigger the computer to shut down or restart randomly as a protective measure. These issues can be caused by a malfunctioning cooling system or blocked air vents, preventing proper heat dissipation.Rate this question:

Instructions in the PC are written in
Correct Answer(s)
BinaryExplanation
Instructions in a computer are written in binary because computers use a binary system to represent and process information. Binary is a base-2 number system that uses only two digits, 0 and 1. These digits are used to represent the on and off states of electronic components in a computer's hardware. Each binary digit, or bit, can represent a single instruction or piece of data. By using binary, computers can efficiently store and manipulate large amounts of information, making it the most suitable language for instructions in a computer's central processing unit (CPU).Rate this question:
