Is the resolution rate the number of times one screen or frame is built in one second?

That would be "screen refresh" or 60hz for example.

Resolution is the amount of "Pixels" or dots you can see. It would be similar to taking a "Normal" picture in a camera and taking a "High resolution" picture.

The smaller the number, 640x480 the less pixels, pictures would not be as good looking. The larger the number, 1920x1080 the more pixels. The picture would have better detail.

Kinda like the difference between watching a HD movie on a normal tube TV and watching the same movie on an HDTV.

When you plug in the Ethernet cable your HDD starts clicking and the computer crashes you need help please?

A clicking sound on a HDD is always a bad sign. Connecting an ethernet cable should not make any difference to the hard drive. In my opinion you should back up all your data and get a new hard drive. The days left in your hard drive are counted!

An input device is any piece of hardware that allows data (in any form) into a computer: a keyboard, a camera, a scanner are all input devices.

How do you disable the hard drive to your old computer before you recycle it?

The old computers need to have the harddisk heads "parked" before the computer is recycled. Otherwise, the heads could hit the magnetic surface, and then a couple of clusters are compromised. Old computer means older than a 80286. If your computer is older than that, you need to park the heads before shutting down. Otherwise, the heads will automatically be parked. The operation is done by running a program. Depending on the operating system version, there are some programs, but usually their name is park.com and spark.com (notice .com - indeed this stuff is for very old computers) After the program is invoked, a message like "the heads are now parked, you can shut down the computer" will be displayed.

What is the difference between a 4x agp slot and an 8x agp slot why should cards designed and built as 8x cards not be used in 4x slots and vice versa?

All 8x AGP slots are backwards-compatible with 4x cards, so there is no reason you couldn't use a 4x card, except that it's slower. Most 8x cards should work in a 4x slot as well, but they won't be able to run at their full potential, and a few may have trouble running at a lower speed (NVIDIA cards should be fine).

Ram stands for what kind of memory?

RAM stands for Random Access Memory. This memory is not like a Flash Drive or Hard Drive, as it is volatile; this means it only temporarily stores data, while it is powered. It is used so that while a computer is running, data which the processor requires rapid access to (e.g. a running program) can be stored and accessed much faster.

What is function of greenboard in computer?

There are many green boards in a computer. I am guessing that you mean the biggest one, right in the center. That would be the motherboard, the main part of the whole computer. It decides everything about your computer: what kind of processor, RAM, and cables to use, and it also decides how much the computer can be upgraded. Everything plugs into the motherboard, basically, making it the central part of the computer.
