It could be a sign of memory loss\u2026.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Does your Windows-based PC crash<\/a> for no apparent reason?
\nDoes yours crash often? At random times?
\nWon\u2019t boot? <\/a>Spontaneous reboots?
\nYou have missing data and other intermittent weird behaviour…<\/span><\/p>\n

All of the above symptoms are common indicators of a faulty or failing computer memory<\/strong>. The cause is usually one of these three things:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Improper Configuration:
\n<\/strong><\/span>You have the wrong part for your computer or\u00a0the configuration rules weren’t followed correctly. The installer put in mismatched modules, the wrong memory for the system board or modules installed in the wrong order.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Improper Installation:<\/span>
\n<\/strong>The memory may not be seated correctly, or the memory socket is defective, corroded or dirty and may\u00a0need cleaning. Careless hardware installations can bump computer memory modules out of place and warp or crack motherboards if excessive pressure\u00a0is used. In addition, electrical shorts could occur if the installer was not grounded properly. Uninstalling or removing the new hardware should be the first step in troubleshooting this issue. Updating the system BIOS may also resolve the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Defective Hardware:<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe memory module itself is defective. A portion of the computer memory module is bad because of a manufacturing defect, power surge, overheating or other causes. Improperly seated or bad memory modules are common, as are bad motherboards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other causes can be;<\/span><\/p>\n

4. You have newly installed software or operating system:
\n<\/strong><\/span>If\u00a0your system was running fine prior to the installation or\u00a0system upgrade,\u00a0it could be a\u00a0compatibility issue, either with the software or the system BIOS. Your technician should check for available updates for your system BIOS.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. No recent changes:
\n<\/strong><\/span>The system was running fine and simply started acting up. Dust or corrosion of the computer memory socket, damage to the memory module from heat or electrical surges or a failing power supply could be the cause. Temporarily removing or replacing the module and testing it can help isolate the issue.<\/p>\n

Computer memory-related errors are often cryptic and hard to identify and the fact that many computer problems manifest themselves as memory problems makes troubleshooting difficult. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
