CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 54

A technician has received multiple reports of issues with a server. The server occasionally has a BSOD, powers off unexpectedly, and has fans that run continuously. Which of the following BEST represents what the technician should investigate during troubleshooting?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The best area to investigate is CPU overheating, as the symptoms described—BSODs, sudden shutdowns, and continuous fan operation—are commonly linked to thermal issues. While firmware incompatibility, LED indicators, and ESD issues may also cause problems, they are less likely to directly result in the specific symptoms observed in this scenario.
