Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If a PC freezes and the system unit is very quiet the most likely cause is:
A
A virus has infected the system
B
The hard drive is almost out of space
C
The CMOS RAM is failing
D
The power-supply fan has failed and the system is overheating
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Overheating. Computer components such as the CPU and GPU create a lot of heat while operating, especially under heavy loads. Some of the heat is dispersed using heat sinks and fans, but temperatures that exceed the safe operating temperature can cause the computer to freeze.

Detailed explanation-2: -A: Software issues are the most common reason for a frozen computer. At some point, the software loses control over the application or tries to run the application in a way the Windows operating system doesn’t recognize. Old software programs may not work well on new versions of Windows, for example.

Detailed explanation-3: -This may be a problem with your computer’s hardware – your hard drive, an overheating CPU, bad memory, or a failing power supply.

Detailed explanation-4: -Typically, it will be a software-related issue or your computer has too many programs operating at once, causing it to freeze. Additional issues such as insufficient hard-disk space or ‘driver’-related issues also can cause a computer to freeze.
