Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 110

Sandra, an expert computer user, hears five beeps while booting her computer, which has AMI BIOS; and after that, her computer stops responding. Sandra knows that during the booting process, POST produces different beep codes for different types of errors. Which of the following errors refers to this POST beep code?

Answer options

• A. Processor failure
• B. Display memory error
• C. Motherboard timer not operational
• D. Cache memory test failed

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as five beeps during the POST process typically indicate a processor failure in AMI BIOS systems. The other options refer to different hardware issues that would produce different beep codes, such as memory errors or motherboard timer problems, which do not correspond to the five beeps Sandra experienced.
