Are you going into an IT job, or engineering job? It would help to determine what practical computer knowledge you would need to know?

 

An engineering job will not ask you how to oc a gpu, or troubleshoot a computer, those are IT related questions for people going into tech support and such, engineering computer skills might be programming, or knowing how to use MatLab, SolidWorks or some other engineering software.

 

If you have no experience fixing computers, or even the basics of a computer, and are going into a tech support job I wish you good luck, not only will you have to deal with fixing the computer, but also dealing with other people.

 

If you need to know the basics of computers I would suggest you go watch some TechQuickie videos on youtube.

 

For BSODs they happen for almost any reason here is a good resource.

Debugging is usually dealing with programming, and writing code.

 

You oc a gpu like you oc anything else up the frequency, stress, up the frequency again, stress, repeat until it fails, then add voltage, repeat this until you hit thermal, frequeny, or voltage limits, or you hit your desired results.

 

I have sent you a separate message but I will write here anyway.

Engineering job - hardware verification.

 

IT related stuff are just part of the job.

Difference between software and hardware caches in simple language?

Motherboard - NB, SB, Lanes?
