CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 223

Ann, an end user, hears multiple beeps each time she attempts to start her workstation, but the computer does not boot successfully. The workstation was recently serviced for a separate issue. Which of the following will MOST likely resolve the current issue with the shortest amount of downtime?

Answer options

• A. Reseat the RAM.
• B. Replace the PSU.
• C. Reset the BIOS.
• D. Replace the HDD.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Reseating the RAM is often a quick solution when encountering beep codes during boot, as it may indicate improper seating or connection. Replacing the PSU and HDD would take more time and effort, and resetting the BIOS is less likely to address hardware-related beep codes effectively.
