“Motherboard is the central printed circuit board (PCB) in many modern computers and holds many of the crucial components of the system, while providing connectors for other peripherals. The motherboard is sometimes alternatively known as the main board, system board, so start learning for the job interview questions related to the Computer Motherboard”



32 Motherboard Questions And Answers

1⟩ Explain How to clear Computer Motherboard CMOS password?

To clear Computer Motherboard CMOS password we will do these steps. Since CMOS is a special chip with its own battery, the best way to clear out a CMOS chip is to disconnect it from its power supply.

To clear the CMOS password you just remove the CMOS Battery or else you can also use a jumper settings.

2⟩ why we know that this motherboard is correct on this condition that computer is no display?

if ram is not working then we can change it and check that display if display not comes then we can say that it has problem with motherboard

first check in smps he will work right then check ram, ram is out in side slot then ruff the earesar ram is work in ok then check is cmos battery then last check is power cable and vga cable he will work ok then replace the motherboard.

4⟩ Explain What are Motherboard Components?

It contains the following key components:<br>1.A microprocessor "socket" which defines what kind of central processing unit the motherboard uses.<br>2.A chipset which forms the computer's logic system. It is usually composed of two parts called bridges (a "north" bridge and its opposite, "south" bridge), which connects the CPU to the rest of the system;<br>3.A Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) chip which controls the most basic function of a computer, and how to repair it; and<br>4.A real-time clock which is a battery-operated chip which maintains the system's time, and other basic functions. <br><br>The motherboard also has slots or ports for the attachment of various peripherals or support system/hardware. There is an Accelerated Graphics Port, which is used exclusively for video cards; Integrated Drive Electronics, which provides the interfaces for the hard disk drives; Memory or RAM cards; and Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), which provides electronic connections for video capture cards and network cards, among others.

motherboard components are hdd,memory,processor,graphic card,net card,BIOS chip.

5⟩ Explain the difference between RAM and ROM?

RAM: Read / Write memory, High Speed, Volatile Memory. ROM: Read only memory, Low Speed, Non Voliate Memory.

RAM- Random Access memory it is a Volatile Memory

volatile mean= when power is off data is loss ok

ROM- read only memory it is a non-volatile memory

it is read only memory we don't write this memory only read

7⟩ What is cache memory on Motherboard?

Cache memory is a small high-speed memory. It is used for temporary storage of data & information between the main memory and the CPU (center processing unit). The cache memory is only in RAM.

8⟩ Described characteristics of uniprogramming?

★ Uni programming allows only one program to be present in memory at a time.

★ The resources are provided to the single program that is present in the memory at that time.

★ Since only one program is loaded the size is small as well.

9⟩ List the features of physical addresses?

★ The physical address as the name suggests is the actual location which can be found in the memory.

★ They are used by the CPU in order to specify the range of addresses.

16⟩ Explain primary functions of the motherboard?

Some of the prime functions of a computer motherboard are as follows:

★ The motherboard acts as the central backbone of a computer on which other modular parts are installed such as the CPU, RAM and hard disks.

★ The motherboard also acts as the platform on which various expansion slots are available to install other devices / interfaces.

★ The motherboard is also responsible to distribute power to the various components of the computer.

★ They are also used in the coordination of the various devices in the computer and maintain an interface among them.

18⟩ Explain a Microprocessor?

Microprocessor is a program-controlled device, which fetches the instructions from memory, decodes and executes the instructions. Most Micro Processor are single- chip devices.

A single chip CPU is called as Microprocessor.The CPU is made of two units namely the Arithmetic and Logic Unit and the Control Unit.It performs functions like executing the instructions given by the user program, controlling the I/O operations and the functions of peripheral devices

19⟩ Described characteristics of hardwired control units?

The characteristics of hardwired control units are as follows:

★ Hardwired control units are based on combinational circuits.

★ In these type of systems the inputs and transforms are set into control signals.

★ Theses units are faster and are known to have a more complex structure.
