CREATE A SLIDE PRESENTATION COMPOSING OF 6 SLIDES.

SLIDE NUMBER CONTAINS THE MAIN TITLE “BASIC COMPUTER HARDWARE”

CONTENTS
 Central Processing Unit
The CPU controls the computer processes and communicates with the other components of a personal computer. A computer's
CPU may be one of the most complicated parts of the computer because of its intricacies. If a computer is experiencing CPU issues, a
computer technician may start by checking the fan and cleaning out any dust or debris inside the machine. Another step a computer
technician may complete is verifying that power supply cables work. A CPU will not function properly unless it receives a signal from
the power supply.
 Motherboard
The motherboard provides the structure for all other components and connects them, while also providing a way to distribute
power, deliver information and connect to devices such as a printer or mouse. It controls how data transfers and what type of monitor
or screen device to use, for example. It houses the CPU, memory and secondary storage devices such as hard drives.

 . Random Access Memory


RAM is where data lives temporarily while it's being actively used by programs, such as when a user launches a computer
application. A technician may know how to identify the type of RAM in a computer, how to replace it if it's defective and how to
diagnose problems with copying data from one location in memory to another

 Video Graphics Array


A video graphics array (VGA) port is a video input that is primarily used on PC monitors. Troubleshooting a VGA port could include
verifying there isn't a loose connection, faulty cable or a broken monitor. Another task a computer technician may do is use
compressed air to spray inside the VGA port to ensure it's free of dust.
 Cooling Fan
Cooling fans are a computer's system to decrease overheating. Many computers have more than one cooling fan to help users who
run their computer heavily, such as video streaming or gaming. A computer technician may need to fix a computer's cooling fan if a
user notices their computer overheating.
