RAM Installation - Keep Trying!

Installing more memory in your computer should be easy, right?

First you need to know what type of RAM you need. The good news is that many sites provide a form to help you determine what you need. It is easier if you have a name brand computer, but all you really need to know is the make and model of your motherboard.

Next, the easiest part should be installing it. But take it from me, the RAM chip module has to sit exactly right in the slot or the motherboard will NOT recognize it.

Make sure you line it up just right, then with a downward force push the module in to the slot. The two latches on the side should pop right up and hold the RAM in.

I had to do this several times before the computer recognized the module.

As always, make sure your PC is unplugged from electric before working on the inside.
