q What is ICT: Information and Communications Technology  ( ICT ) refers to Technologies that provides access to Information through Telecommunications . It is similar to Information

·          The   BIOS   (basic input/output system) gets the computer system started after you turn it on and manages the data flow between the operating system and attached devices such as the  hard disk ,   video adapter , keyboard ,   mouse , and   printer . ·          The   boot   program loads the operating system into the computer's main memory or random access memory ( RAM ). ·          An   assembler   takes basic computer   instructions

(In early BIOSes, POST did not organize or select boot devices, it simply identified floppy or hard disks, which the system would try to boot in that order, always.) The BIOS begins its POST when the   CPU   is reset. The first memory location the CPU tries to execute is known as the   reset vector . In the case of a   hard reboot , the   northbridge   will direct this code fetch (request) to the BIOS located on the system   flash memory . For a   warm boot , the BIOS will be located in the proper place in   RAM   and the northbridge will direct the reset vector call to the RAM. (In earlier PC systems, before chipsets were standard, the BIOS ROM would be located at an address range that included the reset vector, and BIOS ran directly out of ROM. This is why the motherboard BIOS ROM is in segment F000 in the   conventional memory   map.) During the POST

A   power-on self-test   ( POST ) is a process performed by   firmware   or   software   routines immediately after a computer or other digital electronic device is powered on. This article mainly deals with personal computers, but many other   embedded systems   such as those in major appliances,   avionics , communications, or medical equipment also have self-test routines which are automatically invoked at power-on. The results of the POST may be displayed on a panel that is part of the device, output to an external device, or stored for future retrieval by a diagnostic tool. Since a self-test might detect that the system's usual human-readable display is non-functional, an indicator lamp or a   speaker   may be provided to show error codes as a sequence of flashes or beeps. In addition to running tests, the POST process may also set the initial state of the device from firmware. In the case of a computer, the POST rou...

A computer port is a connection point or interface between a computer and an external or internal device. Internal device may connect such devices as hard drives and CD-Rom or DVD-Rom; External ports may connect modems, printers, mice and other devices.                          Types of computer parts include: 1.     Serial ports 2.     Parallel ports 3.     Small computer system interface(SCSI) ports 4.     Universal serial bus (USB) ports etc.

A liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor is a computer monitor or display that uses LCD technology to show clear images and is found mostly in laptop computers and flat panel monitors. This technology has replaced the traditional cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors, which were the previous standard and once were considered to have better pictures quietly then early LCD variants. With the introduction of better LCD technology and into continuous improvement, LCD is now the clear leader over CRT, in terms of color and picture quality, not to mention capabilities for large resolutions. Also, LCD monitors may be made much more cheaply than CRT monitor.

Motherboards also have a slot for a small lithium rechargeable battery. The space for the battery on the motherboard is usually small and round. It is usually the only space on the motherboard that the battery may fit into. This battery has a life span of about 4 years after which it, like all things dies and cannot hold charge anymore. Then it needs to be replaced. It is this battery that keeps the system from losing the contents of the Cmos, like your Bios settings. The battery rarely goes bad, you will know because: 1. The system will start to experience slow clock. By this we mean the stuff that tells you what time it is and not the system or bus clock which is different. 2. You may sometimes get such error messages as checksum error, simply put, the battery is almost dead that once the PC power is turned off and the battery is supposed to come on now to maintain such things as time, but it does not because it is dead.               When the b...

WYSIWYG is an acronym that stands for "what you see is what you get". A WYSIWYG editor can be contrasted with more traditional editors that require the developer to enter descriptive codes and do not permit an immediate way to see the results of the markup. The first true WYSIWYG editor was a word processing
