CONTENT
INTRODUCTION TO PERSONAL COMPUTER
The case houses the internal components such as the power supply, motherboard, central processing unit
(CPU), memory, disk drives, and assorted adapter cards.
The term form factor refers to the physical design and look of a case. Common desktop computers are
available in form factors including:
COMPUTER CASING
 Horizontal case
 Full-Size Tower
 Compact Tower
 All-in-one
Many case manufacturers may have their own naming conventions, including super tower, full tower, mid
tower, mini tower, cube case, and more.

SYSTEM POWER SUPPLY

Computers use a power supply to convert AC power into a lower voltage DC power required by internal
components.
Desktop computer power supply form factors include:
• Advanced Technology (AT) – original power supply for legacy computer
systems
• AT Extended (ATX) – updated version of the AT
• ATX12V – the most common power supply on the market today
• EPS12V – originally designed for network servers but is now commonly used in high-end desktop
models.
CONNECTORS
 A power supply includes several different connectors. They are used to power various internal
components such as the motherboard and disk drives.
 Some examples are:
• 20-pin or 24-pin slotted connector
• SATA keyed connector
• Molex keyed connector
• Berg keyed connector
• 4-pin to 8-pin auxiliary power connector
• 6/8-pin PCIe power connector
THE MOTHERBOARD
 The motherboard is the backbone of the computer.
 It is a printed circuit board (PCB) that contains buses, or electrical
pathways, that interconnect electronic components.
 These components may be soldered directly to the motherboard, or added using sockets, expansion
slots, and ports.
THE CPU
 The central processing unit (CPU) is responsible for interpreting and executing commands.
 The CPU is a small microchip that resides within a CPU package.
 The CPU socket is the connection between the motherboard and the processor.
 Modern CPU sockets and processor packages are built in following architectures:
 Pin Grid Array (PGA) - the pins are on the underside of the processor package and is inserted into the
motherboard CPU socket.
 Land Grid Array (LGA) - the pins are in the socket instead of on the processor.
COMPUTER MEMORY
 A computer might use different types of memory chips.
 All memory chips store data in the form of bytes.
 A byte is a block of eight bits stored as either 0 or 1 in the memory chip.
 Read-Only Memory (ROM) – such as ROM chip.
 Random Access Memory (RAM) is the temporary working
storage for data and programs that are being accessed by the CPU.
RAM is volatile memory.
 Adding more RAM in a computer enhances the system performance. However, the maximum amount of
RAM that can be installed is limited by the motherboard.

EVALUATION:
What kind of personal computer do they have?
What are the differences between a desktop PC and a laptop?
ASSIGNMENT
What are the hardware components in their desktop PC or laptop?
What is the specification of those components?
How do specifications affect the performance or functions of the PC or laptop?
What are new input/output devices that they would like to have? Why?

Computer virus is a program intentionally written by some software developer to cause damage to the
computer, programs and files in which it found itself. The computer virus may be designed to display
unwanted message
The computer virus is a program that has the ability to replicates itself by changing other programs to
include a copy of itself. A virus causes the infected computer system to function in way not originally
planned. The computer virus cannot be seen with your natural eyes yet the effects can be notified on an
infected system.

(b) Types of Computer Virus

There are basically three ways in which a virus will infect your micro computer.
