RAM - TEST THE MEMORY MODULES

Read More About Operating Systems

Do we understand the importance of RAM in the smooth running of our PC? Do we really care how much RAM we have in our computer and how can we ensure its good health? Random Access Memory (RAM) plays an important role in the PCs performance, especially in terms of its speed. Buy are we aware of it? Perhaps, not all the times. It’s only during the slow computer problem that we bother to check the health of the RAM installed. So, get some computer help to learn more about RAM.

If you have RAM problem, you can get it detected. You can right-click your ‘My Computer’ and click on the ‘Properties’ to learn how much RAM you have in your computer. Now, if you have low RAM, your machine may not boot up at all. Contrary to the popular belief, the actual truth is, if there is a RAM problem then you might face peculiar problems, which apparently might seem to be a problem with your software. Let me discuss a problem that several like me have faced in some point of time.

I was trying to install Oracle 9i in my previous PC and I just could not install it due to various error messages, which indicated something else than a RAM problem. I was using Windows XP SP2, which I reloaded with an apprehension that there were too many corruptions in the operating system files. I was using AVG antivirus software, which I disabled later to eliminate the possibility of an interference from it. There was no useless software in the computer. But in spite of all these, I could not really install the software. In the meantime, quite fortunately for me, my machine stopped booting with a long beep sound and resetting the RAM did not really help. So I got a new and better quality RAM for the computer and to my utter astonishment, not only did my computer boot up (it was expected), I was successful in loading up the Oracle as well. Never did the computer properties give me a hint that there was a problem with the RAM. It was always showing a little bit less than the amount installed, which is natural because some of the memory is used up for the display.

There are third party software available (bootable CDs) and you only need to boot the computer with that CD and go for a health check up for the RAM. If there is a memory module failure, then it will tell you so.
