2 Don t Panic! An Introduction to. Fixing & Preventing Computer Problems CLASS 2 THURSDAY, JAN. 4 TH The OS (Windows) The Internet Intro to Malware CLASS 3 TUESDAY, JAN. 9 TH Dealing with Malware PC Maintenance Internet Security

3 Goal: To prevent panic when 1. Your computer fails to start 2. The operating system (Windows) fails to launch 3. The computer crashes or freezes often 4. Strange things happen (desktop Icons disappear) 5. Your computer slows to a crawl 6. You believe your computer has been hacked 7. A dire warning appears saying a) your computer is virus infected. Call b) your files have been encrypted. Pay

4 The Basics

17 Display* Tower* PC Hardware Mouse* Peripherals Printer / Scanner Modem* Router external drives web cam* Keyboard* *built into laptop computers

18 Computer Architecture defined in 1945 (CPU) Keyboard Mouse (RAM) Display Hard Drive Printer John Von Neumann

19 Power Supply (PSU) Case Motherboard Processor (CPU) Memory (RAM) Hard Drive (HDD) Key PC Components 1. Processor (CPU) logic chip where calculations are performed. 2. Memory (RAM) used to temporarily hold programs and files for processing 3. Hard Drive (HDD) used to permanently store programs and files 4. Motherboard circuit board housing components and circuits for other functions. 5. Power Supply (PSU) supplies power to all tower components.

20 Processor (CPU) Power Supply (PSU) Motherboard Processor (CPU) Memory (RAM) Hard Drive (HDD) Key Specs: Operating frequency (e.g. 3.5 GHz) Version (Intel i3, i5, i7; AMD Ryzen 3, 5, 7) Technology (Intel 8 th Gen; AMD Ryzen) No. of Cores (2,4, etc.)

21 Memory (RAM)* = The Blackboard Power Supply (PSU) Motherboard Key Spec: No. of BYTES (4 GB, 8 GB, etc.) Processor (CPU) Memory (RAM) Hard Drive (HDD) * Radom Access Memory

22 Hard Drive = Storage = The File Cabinet Power Supply (PSU) Motherboard Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Processor (CPU) Memory (RAM) Hard Drive (HDD) Solid State Drive (SSD) Key Spec: Quantity of BYTES (1 TB, 2 TB, etc.)

23 Power Supply and Motherboard When plugged into a wall outlet the power supply continuously applies power to motherboard. Power Supply (PSU) The motherboard contains circuits that support other components and peripherals. INPUT keyboard mouse webcam microphone Motherboard Processor (CPU) Memory (RAM) Hard Drive (HDD) OUTPUT display printer speakers INPUT & OUTPUT network touchscreen display drives (HDD, SDD, flash)

24 Power Supply (PSU) Motherboard Processor (CPU) Memory (RAM) Hard Drive (HDD) Startup Sequence (boot up) 1. Power on sends a signal to the motherboard to begin the start up process. 2. Power On Self Test (POST)* checks all hardware and places it in a ready-to-go state. 3. Operating System (Windows) is copied from the hard drive to memory. 4. Welcome / logon screen appears. 5. Icon-populated desktop screen; ready for work. * BIOS (basic input-output system)

25 Logo Screen During POST

26 Windows 10 Desktop Screen

28 What if the PC doesn t boot up? Don t Panic!

29 Power Supply (PSU) Motherboard Processor (CPU) Memory (RAM) Hard Drive (HDD) 1. Power on sends a signal to the motherboard to begin the start up process. 2. Power On Self Test (POST)* checks all hardware and places it in a ready-to-go state. 3. Operating System (Windows) is copied from HDD to RAM 4. Welcome / logon screen. 5. Desktop screen Startup Sequence * BIOS (basic input-output system)

30 POST Failure Troubleshooting Possible Cause Simple things to try No power Check: power cables, switches (incl. PSU), power strips, display input, etc. Failure to complete POST Static charge buildup (laptops) Dust buildup, Internal short, PSU Unplug power cord. Unplug all USB external hardware except monitor, keyboard & mouse. Plug in power cord and restart. Unplug power cord and remove battery. Press and hold down power button for 30+ seconds. Plug in without battery and restart. Clean inside the computer case.
