CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 68

A technician has built a custom workstation for an end user. The end user reports that the workstation ran for a few minutes and then crashed. When the user subsequently boots the workstation, it crashes much more quickly.
Which of the following did the technician forget to do when building the workstation?

Answer options

• A. Apply thermal paste.
• B. Connect the case fans.
• C. Configure integrated GPU.
• D. Overclock the CPU.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because failing to connect the case fans can lead to overheating, causing the workstation to crash. Options A and C are not directly related to the immediate failure upon boot, and D is not typically a requirement for a basic workstation setup, especially if stability is a concern.
