CompTIA SK0-005 Exam - Topic 4 Question 57 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's SK0-005 exam

Question #: 57
Topic #: 4

A datacenter technician is attempting to troubleshoot a server that keeps crashing. The server runs normally for approximately five minutes, but then it crashes. After restoring the server to operation, the same cycle repeats. The technician confirms none of the configurations have changed, and the load on the server is steady from power-on until the crash. Which of the following will MOST likely resolve the issue?

AReseating any expansion cards in the server

BReplacing the failing hard drive

CReinstalling the heat sink with new thermal paste

DRestoring the server from the latest full backup

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Using a network-based deployment, such as network booting (PXE - Preboot Execution Environment) or imaging through a server, is the most efficient way to load operating systems onto multiple machines simultaneously. This approach minimizes the manual intervention required for each device, as the administrator can initiate the operating system installation or imaging process across all desktops at once through the network. In contrast, using an SD card, DVD (Optical), or USB would require the administrator to physically move the media from one desktop to another, significantly increasing the setup time for each device.

Wait, are we sure it’s not a power supply issue?

Restoring from backup won’t help if it’s crashing like that.

Reseating cards is a good idea, but I doubt it’ll fix this.

I think it's more likely a hard drive problem, so B could be right.

Sounds like a thermal issue, so C makes sense.

Restoring from a backup seems like a last resort. If the configurations haven't changed, I doubt that's the solution here.

This sounds similar to a practice question I did where a failing hard drive was the culprit. But in this case, the load is steady, so I’m not convinced that's it.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think reseating expansion cards is usually a good first step in troubleshooting hardware issues.

I remember something about overheating causing crashes, so maybe the heat sink and thermal paste could be the issue.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if the hard drive or backup is the issue since the question doesn't mention any storage problems. I'll probably start with the expansion cards and heat sink, and see if that resolves the crashes.

Okay, let me think this through. The server is crashing consistently after 5 minutes, so it's likely a thermal or power issue. I'll go with reinstalling the heat sink and checking the thermal paste.

This seems like a hardware issue, so I'll focus on checking the physical components first. Reseating the expansion cards seems like a good place to start.

I'm a bit confused here. The question says the configurations haven't changed, so I'm not sure if the hardware is the problem. Maybe I should consider software or environmental factors as well.

Hmm, I can't remember the exact RSTP port state that they all initialize in. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, I think I know the answer here. The way statements are made in a DTD is different from XML, but the XML processor should be able to handle that efficiently.

Okay, let's think this through. The key is to identify use cases where the S2C workflow would be applicable.

I feel like I might be mixing concepts... Does lower blood lactate levels happen because of increased endurance? Maybe?

Wait, is this server being powered by a hamster on a wheel? Because the 'five minutes before crashing' thing sounds like a rodent-related issue to me.

Hah, I've dealt with this kind of server drama before. Gotta be the thermal paste, no doubt. Rookie mistake, but an easy fix. C all the way!

Yeah, I agree. If the server is running normally for a few minutes before crashing, it might be a heat sink problem.

Definitely not B. If the hard drive was failing, it would be giving more consistent errors, not this random crashing. I'm going with C on this one.
