43 1. Inside a PC Power supply Mother board CD-ROM drive Hard disk drive Floppy disk drive Sound/network cards Wires and ribbon cables

44 A Chip A chip (microchip) is an integrated circuit - a thin slice of silicon crystal packed with microscopic circuit elements e.g. wires, transistors, capacitors, resistors

45 Motherboard Picture Random Access Memory (RAM) chips. Read-only Memory (ROM) chips Processor chip (the CPU) Expansion slots

46 Moving Data A data bus (a data path): connects the parts of the motherboard. RAM via expansion cards

47 RAM Random Access Memory (RAM). RAM is used to hold programs while they are being executed, and data while it is being processed. RAM is volatile, meaning that information written to RAM will disappear when the computer is turned off. continued

48 RAM contents can be accessed in any (i.e. random) order. By contrast, a sequential memory device, such as magnetic tape, forces the computer to access data in a fixed order because of the mechanical movement of the tape.

49 How much RAM is Enough? Computers typically have between 64 and 512 Mb (megabytes) of RAM. RAM access speeds can be as fast as 8 nanoseconds (8 billionth of a second). The right amount of RAM depends on the software you are using. You can install extra RAM.

50 Virtual Memory Virtual memory uses part of the hard disk to simulate more memory (RAM) than actually exists. It allows a computer to run more programs at the same time. Virtual memory is slower than RAM.

51 ROM Read-Only Memory can be read but not changed. It is non-volatile storage: it remembers its contents even when the power is turned off. ROM chips are used to store the instructions a computer needs during start-up, called firmware. Some kinds of ROM are PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, and CD-ROM.

52 CMOS Memory A computer needs a semi-permanent way of keeping some start-up data e.g. the current time, the no. of hard disks the data may need to be updated/changed the battery CMOS memory requires (very little) power to retain its contents. supplied by a battery on the motherboard

53 The CPU The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the chip on the motherboard that acts as the "computer's brain" it does calculations, and coordinates the other motherboard components CPU examples: the Pentium, the PowerPC chip The CPU is also known as the processor or microprocessor.

54 Some Processors (CPUs) Pentium Chip PowerPC Chip Chip Fan

55 The System Clock The system clock sends out 'ticks' to control the timing of all the motherboard tasks e.g. it controls the speed of the data bus and the instruction cycle The time it takes to complete an instruction cycle is measured in megahertz (MHz). 1 MHz = one million cycles per second

56 Expansion Slots Expansion slot containing an expansion card. Most expansion cards contain a port. Data originates in RAM The expansion bus transports data through the motherboard. 56 A connector cable plugs into the port, and leads to a peripheral. continued

57 Common expansion cards: graphics card (for connecting to a monitor) network card (for transmitting data over a network) sound card (for connecting to a microphone and speakers) Most PCs offer 4-8 expansion slots.

58 Expansion Slot Types There are several different types of expansion slot: ISA: older technology, for modems and slow devices PCI: for graphics, sound, video, modem or network cards AGP: for graphics cards

59 8. Booting a Computer Booting is the sequence of computer operations from power-up until the system is ready for use this includes hardware testing, and loading the OS This is not an example of computer booting.

60 Other Booting Tasks The computer checks the CMOS memory. The computer loads configuration settings from Config.sys or the Windows Registry.

61 Common Problems #1 If nothing happens, the system is not getting power. When you turn on a computer, you should see the power light and hear the fan. Fan Power light

62 Common Problems #2 If the ROM chips, RAM, or processor are broken, then the computer will stop or 'hang' the light and fan will be on, but... there will be no messages on the screen

63 Common Problems #3 The Power-On Self-Test (POST) automatically checks for problems in the computer. POST checks: the graphics card, RAM, the keyboard performs drives test hard drive, CD drives, floppy drive Problems are reported by various beeps, or by on-screen messages.

64 Common Problems #4 Configuration data is missing or corrupted in the CMOS or the Windows Registry This will generate on-screen messages.

65 Windows Safe Mode If MS Windows cannot complete booting, it may start in Safe Mode. Safe Mode is a limited version of Windows that allows you to use only the mouse, monitor, and keyboards no peripherals the screen icons will probably look very large
