This is a review of the entire dialogue you just studied.
Write the following words or phrases in the correct spot:
power cable, slowing down, memory leaks, booting, software crash, operating system, and corrupted.
Sarah: Hey Mark, have you noticed that some computers aren't BLANK properly?
Mark: Yes, I have. If the BLANK isn't connected securely, the computer won't turn on. Did you check that?
Sarah: I did, but the problem seems to be more than just the power connection. Have you seen anything similar?
Mark: Sometimes if the BIOS is BLANK, it prevents the computer from starting. If that's the case, it can be tricky to fix.
Sarah: Yeah, it can. Speaking of which, another thing we can check is if the hard drive is failing. If it's not functioning, the BLANK won't load, will it?
Mark: Right, it won't. And if there's a BLANK, it can be because of incompatible drivers or outdated software. Have you updated the drivers recently?
Sarah: Not yet. I was thinking about updating them this week. What else could cause software to crash?
Mark: If the application has BLANK, it can lead to crashes. If you notice the system BLANK or freezing, that's a sign.
Sarah: Absolutely. Thanks for the insights, Mark.
