Computer components

A computer consists of a variety of hardware and software components that work together to perform calculations, organize data, and communicate with other components.

The main components of the computer:

Monitor - A monitor is an out device, which is responsible for conveying information to the user, which looks like a television screen, displays texts, graphics and video information.

Keyboard - A keyboard is an input device which allows the user to enter data and instructions into a computer. The keyboard contains keys that allow you to type letters of the alphabet, numbers, spaces, punctuation marks, etc. The keyboard also contains special keys for entering instructions.

Mouse - A mouse is a small hand held device that contains at least one button. The mouse controls the movement of a symbol on the screen called the pointer.

System Unit - A system unit is a box like case made from metal or plastic that protects the internal components of the computer from damage. The circuitry in the system unit is a part of or is connected to a circuit board called the motherboard.

The main components of the system unit:

CPU - A Central Processing Unit, also called a processor, is the electronic device that interprets and carries out the basic instructions that operate the computer. There are basically two types of processors i.e. slotted and socket processors. Many modern CPUs are covered with fins or a fan to dissipate the heat they generate.

Motherboard - A motherboard is the primary printed circuit board in a PC. All of the basic circuitry and components required for a PC to function are either contained in or attached to the motherboard. The motherboard typically contains the system bus, processor and coprocessor sockets, memory sockets, serial and parallel ports, expansion slots, and peripheral controllers.

Bios - A BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is the program that enables a PC to boot after power-up. The BIOS is a built-in set of routines that serves as an interface between the computer's operating system and hardware devices. It is stored on an ROM chip generally located near the computer's real-time clock or lithium battery.

By processing requests from applications as well as drivers, the BIOS permits the user to maintain control of hardware settings.

Disc Drives - On computer system one may have several different drives installed on his/her system. The following drives may be installed on a computer

Hard Drive - A hard drive is an important part of your computer, used for long-term storage of data, opposite to Random Access Memory (RAM) which loses data as soon as your PC loses power.

Floppy Disc Drive - A Floppy Disc Drive is used for storing information into a floppy disk. A floppy disk consists of a thin, circular, flexible disk enclosed in a plastic shell. It stores data and information using magnetic patterns.

A CD ROM\DVD ROM drive\CD RW - CD ROMs are a little bit different than floppy and hard disks. Instead of electromagnetism, they use a laser to reflect light off microscopic pits embedded in the disks. When a pit swings by, the light is reflected to an electric eye. Where there is no pit, the light is not reflected. DVDROMs store more data. They can do it by having smaller pits, using two levels of pits, one under a translucent surface containing the other layer, and in some cases, by storing data on both sides of the disk.

Video Card - One of the expansion cards, called a display, video or graphics card is for the monitor. This card is responsible for converting graphics and text into the monitor.

Power Supply - An internal power supply is responsible for converting your standard household power into a form that your computer can use. The power supply is responsible for powering every device in your computer; if it has a problem or is of low quality you may experience many difficulties.

System buses - A bus, in computer terms, is simply a channel over which

information flows between two or more devices.

Memory Module - Memory is a temporary storage place for data, instructions, and information.
