Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer:

The processor and the motherboard goes bad.

Explanation:

Computer system component upgrade allows the enhancement of the component specification. Every computer system comes with a specific quality, size or speed of its various components like the storage drives size, the memory size, the processor speed and even the software components like the operating system.

An upgrade must be compatible with the system configuration like upgrading the processor. If the upgrade is compatible, the processor speed can be increased, but when an upgrade of the processor is not compatible with the chipsets, this could damage the processor and motherboard.
