Question
While using a computer, a user reports that the system fan begins running loudly and the display starts to distort. Which of the following is occurring?
- A. Overheating Correct
- B. Sluggish performance
- C. Overclocking CPU
- D. Crashing applications
Explanation
A fan that suddenly runs at full speed shows the system is trying to shed heat, and a distorted display is a common sign that the GPU or other components are overheating. Overclocking can lead to overheating, but the symptoms described are the overheating itself. Sluggish performance and crashing applications are possible results of heat, not what explains a loud fan plus display artifacts.
