About this tool
Test your knowledge of computer hardware components with interactive multiple-choice questions. Learn about CPUs, GPUs, RAM, storage, and more.
The Computer Parts Quiz is a 15-question multiple-choice test on desktop PC hardware, covering what CPU, GPU, PSU, SSD, BIOS and HDMI stand for, the difference between volatile RAM and permanent storage, what thermal paste and the chipset do, and which motherboard form factor is standard. Each answer is marked immediately — the correct option turns green even when you pick wrong — and the final screen gives a score out of 15 with the percentage. It suits students revising IT basics, first-time PC builders and anyone preparing for an entry-level hardware exam.
Open Computer Parts Quiz on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
The first question is on screen when the page loads — the header counts Question 1 of N, so there is nothing to press to begin.
Pick one of the multiple-choice answers and the quiz advances to the next question on its own.
After the last question the Quiz Complete screen shows your score out of N, and Try Again restarts from question one.
The right option is highlighted as soon as you pick, so a wrong guess turns into a learned fact instead of a number you find out about at the end.
Alongside the what-does-it-stand-for questions there are function questions on thermal paste, chipset data flow and air versus liquid cooling.
The current score and a question-by-question progress bar are on screen throughout, so you know where you stand before the summary.
Fifteen, each with four options and exactly one correct answer, scored one point each for a maximum of 15 or 100%. The questions appear in the same fixed order every attempt, so a retry is genuine repetition practice.
RAM is volatile — it loses everything when power is cut — while a hard drive or SSD holds data permanently between sessions. That distinction is one of the quiz questions because it is the single most commonly confused pair in beginner hardware exams.
ATX, which the quiz marks as the correct answer over Mini-ITX, Micro-ATX and E-ATX. ATX is the full-size standard most tower cases and desktop boards are built around, with Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX being the smaller variants.
No. Each question locks once you select an option, and you move forward with the Next button until the results screen. Try Again resets the score to zero and returns you to question one.
