CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 5

A technician is troubleshooting what appears to be a RAM issue on a PC. Which of the following symptoms would indicate if this is a RAM issue?

Answer options

• A. POST code beeps
• B. Distended capacitors
• C. Continuous reboots
• D. Wrong BIOS time

Correct answer: A

Explanation

POST code beeps are diagnostic signals that indicate hardware issues, including RAM failures, during the power-on self-test. The other options, such as distended capacitors, continuous reboots, and wrong BIOS time, may suggest other hardware problems or configuration issues but are not specifically indicative of RAM malfunctions.
