Characteristics of damaged computer RAM on a laptop or desktop computer

 RAM is short for Random Access Memory, which functions to randomly access memory on a computer when running applications. RAM has the ability to read that is much faster and better than regular memory, because RAM is able to store and read data without the need to follow a certain order

Computer RAM is often associated with computer hardware that can increase the ability of a computer in multitasking, so many say that the greater the RAM capacity, the faster a computer can run software or applications.

When RAM is damaged, there are several symptoms and characteristics that can be felt by the user. The following are some of the characteristics of damaged RAM:

The computer feels slow

The first characteristic when a RAM is damaged is that the computer is slow, even though it is not running heavy applications. We can see this from the task manager, even though less than part of the RAM capacity is used, the computer will still feel slow.

 

How to overcome :

To overcome this, then you can check whether the RAM is installed correctly. If it is installed correctly, but still experiencing this, then immediately replace the RAM with a new one.

Operating System does not run smoothly

Of course, an operating system also requires RAM to work properly. However, if the RAM is experiencing symptoms of damage, then the operating system will certainly not run smoothly, it is stuttering, and there are some features that may not work properly.

 

The computer restarts itself

Computers often self-restart or restart themselves are also a feature of damage to RAM. However, apart from damage to RAM, there are several other things that can cause the computer to restart itself frequently.

 

How to overcome :

Make sure beforehand that your computer is damaged in the RAM section. Once confirmed, it is highly recommended to replace your RAM components, so that this problem can be resolved.

Blue Screen

Blue Screen is a condition where the computer has memory problems. Usually, blue screen conditions can occur due to two general things, namely damage to RAM and damage to the hard disk.

 

Applications or software often cannot run

The next characteristic of damage to RAM is an application or software that sometimes cannot run properly. Usually this is related to RAM being unable to access data from the software, so that the application or software cannot run.

 

Errors often occur when installing an application

Just like applications that cannot be run, damage to RAM also often causes errors when you are about to install a new application.

Therefore, when you often receive errors when installing applications, it could be because your RAM is damaged.

Blackscreen computer screen, not showing anything

The next characteristic of computer RAM damage is that the computer screen cannot display any display, even though the processor and VGA and the cables are working properly.

Repeated and long beeps appear when the computer is turned on

Long beeps are another sign of damage to RAM components. Usually, besides RAM, beeps are also often an indicator of damage to other components, such as hard drives and motherboards.

Computer gets hot easily

Damage to RAM can be detected from the condition of RAM that gets hot easily. When Ram feels very hot, then this is definitely a sign that RAM is damaged and must be replaced immediately.
