The front desk receptionist emails you that her computer beeps three times and shuts down right after she turns the computer on. How do find out what causes this error? Choose all that apply.
  1. Search the internet for the meaning of the three beeps.
  2. Check the computer manual.
  3. Consult her training guide for using the computer.
  4. Search the internet for the computer’s BIOS type.
Explanation
Answers: A, B, and D - Understanding the beep error and the BIOS type can be effective tools in diagnosing the issue. Beep codes are different based on the BIOS type (motherboard). A computer’s manual is always a good place to start as well.

Key Takeaway: The Internet often offers multiple resources for assessing an issue and providing solutions. Of course, any information from a manufacturer (including the manual) is valuable, as it is specific to the component.
