Troubleshoot RAM and Memory - 2
Random Access Memory (RAM) is vital to how well programs load and run on our PCs. With a sufficient amount of it installed, we can multitask operations on our desktop. Problems with RAM can be rooted in bad RAM, incorrectly installed RAM, or the wrong type of RAM installed. It can also be rooted in a more expensive problem: the motherboard itself. Bad RAM can cause many issues, too: random lockups, Windows Protection and Fatal Exception Errors, without letting you know it's the RAM.
