Hardware and network troubleshooting

Question

An engineer is experiencing unexpected reboots on a graphics workstation when rendering complex 3-D models. The workstation is configured with a 115V power supply that is rated at 200W and connected to a UPS. The central processing unit contains 16 hyperthreaded cores, and a discrete graphics solution utilizing an 8-pin power connector is installed in a PCI Express x16 slot. Which of the following indicates where the technician should begin troubleshooting?

Options

  • AThe UPS, as 115V is insufficient for the configuration and should be increased to 220V
  • BThe power supply, as 200W is insufficient when the GPU is heavily tasked
  • CThe graphics card, as it is the component that triggers the unexpected reboots
  • DThe motherboard, as only standard PCI slots should be used for high-end graphics cards, not PCI
