CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 494

A user reboots a machine. On rebooting, the user hears one beep, and then an error message is displayed. Which of the following are MOST likely causing this issue? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. RAM module
• B. Graphics card
• C. CPU
• D. Boot order
• E. USB flash drive
• F. Power supply

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct answers are D and E because an incorrect boot order can lead to the system attempting to boot from a non-bootable device, which may cause an error. Additionally, a USB flash drive that is not set up correctly or contains an invalid boot image can also lead to the same issue. The other options like RAM, Graphics card, CPU, and Power supply may not directly relate to the beep and error message following a reboot.
