Common Signs of Computer RAM Issues

• Frequent Crashes: Programs freeze or your PC blue-screens.
• Slow Performance: Apps take ages to load or multitask poorly.
• Error Messages: Alerts like “Out of Memory” or “Memory Management Error.”
• Boot Failures: Your computer beeps or fails to start.

Step-by-Step Guide to Fix Computer RAM Issues

Try these steps to resolve computer RAM issues at home:

1. Restart Your Computer: A simple reboot can clear temporary memory glitches.
2. Run Windows Memory Diagnostic:
   • Press Win + R, type mdsched.exe, and hit Enter.
   • Choose “Restart now and check for problems.”
   • Review results after reboot for RAM errors.
3. Check RAM Seating:
   • Power off and unplug your PC.
   • Open the case and ensure RAM modules are firmly seated in their slots.
   • Reseat if loose; avoid static discharge by grounding yourself.
4. Clean RAM Contacts:
   • Remove RAM sticks and gently clean gold contacts with a soft eraser.
   • Reinsert securely and test.
5. Test with One RAM Stick:
   • If you have multiple sticks, test each one individually to identify a faulty module.
