question 6 of 15
you are tasked with evaluating a computer system that frequently experiences random shutdowns and os blue - screen errors. after eliminating software issues, you suspect a hardware problem.
which of the following actions would be the most effective in evaluating the stability of the systems power supply?
visually inspect the power supply for any physical damage or burnt smells.
use a multimeter to measure the output voltages of the power supply.
check the systems event logs for any power - related error messages.
replace the power supply with a new one to see if the problem persists.
i want to review this question later. (optional)
check my answer (optional)

Explanation:

Visually inspecting may not show internal power - supply issues. Checking event logs gives software - side info not power - supply stability directly. Replacing is a drastic step without proper diagnosis. Using a multimeter measures the actual output voltages which is key to determining power - supply stability.

Answer:

B. Use a multimeter to measure the output voltages of the power supply.
