You know that Manufacture Label on RAM modules?  Do I have to remove it or is it ok to leave it on?

There a number of ways to find the information you need.  You could open the case and jot down the make and model of your RAM modules.  If you are not comfortable opening your computer then I have 2 recommendations.  You can go to Crucial's website (http://www.crucial.com/). Crucial is one of the leading RAM makers.  On their website, you have the choice of entering the make and model of your computer and Crucial will display the type of RAM used.  Or, you can have Crucial scan your computer and identify the RAM used.  My second recommendation is to download and install a tool like Lavalys's Everest Home Edition, which can scan and display all the parts which make up your computer (i.e. cpu, motherbroad, ram, graphic card, monitor...etc.).  Everest isn't the only tool; you can use CPU-Z which does pretty much the same thing as Everest.  The download links are:\n\n1.

On that motherboard the CMOS jumpers are two little silver things sticking out from one of the RAM memory sticks. I found this quote on the Internet:\n\n"\n(1) Remove the memory access panel.\n(2) Remove the sticks of memory.\n(3) I believe it is the top stick, but it may be the bottom. There are two solder points that stand out.\n(4) With a small screwdriver or other tool, short these two contacts.\n(5) Replace the memory and put the access panel back on.\n"\n\nBe careful when you do this. I do it all the time with desktop PCs, but notebooks may be a bit different.  You may need to have your battery (power) connected while you do it although that is definitely not required for a desktop PC.

Depends on your BIOS Manufacturer - Most modern motherboards use "delete". or if you have a HP or Dell it is usually "F1", or "F2"

you should modify some feature in your bios setup\nand if you're not an expert, i suggest dont to that alone

Try cleaning it with a Clean kit which you can find in computers shops. Good luck!

Either the RAM or motherboard is damaged.

Take one of your sticks of ram out of your computer and look at it. It should say on the ram what kind it is and you can also see how many pins it is.

You should be able to go into your controll panel to the add/remove programs and take it off there

OOH, No stickers?!!?  There I dunno how you will.  Best way is to ask a computer dealer to try the RAM for you and give you the specs.\n\nOr better, try it at a friend's who's willing to help u out.

Also try www.crucial.com and what perrys porche means by go bad is RAM is very sensitive to static electricity. If you have had any experience with hardware on computers then go ahead and install it yourself. But if you have any doubts have it professionally done. Also you need to get the correct speed RAM (MHZ) or if your computer is really old milliseconds (ms) or if it is fairly new (under 3 years DDR or brand new DDR2. It can get confusing. Again if you have any doubts in your ability to do this yourself go to your local computer repair store and have them order and install the RAM for you.

OK, this is the actual procedure, read carefully.\n\nIf you have already bought the RAM, skip this paragraph and go to the next step. If you have not bought it yet, just remove your old one and take it to the shop. Tell them you want the same type of RAM but in a different/same capacity. This saves you alot of trouble telling them whether it's SDRAM or DDR RAM. Just bring the sample.\n\nThere is no installation involved. You just need to put the new or additional RAM into the DIMM slot(there is only one type of slot for RAM so you can't go wrong) and start your computer, that's all. The computer will automatically calculate the new size of the RAM and adjust itself automatically.\n\nIf you are still unclear, do not hesitate to post here. Good luck!\n\nCheers!\nALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE

Installing ram is remarkably easy. There are 2 levers on either side of the slot, you just push those down and the old chip will pop right out. Then you make sure that you have the notches in the new chip lined up with the notches in the slot, and push the new chip in untill the levers snap back into place. And your done. Well, you might want to put the cover back on the pc, too.\n\nEdit: One thing to keep in mind, however, is that ram, like most computer components, IS static sensitive, so in your socks on carpet is not the best place to do this. You can ground yourself but putting both hands on any grounded metal, including the computer case itself, before handling any of the parts.

Take out the RAM, and try to start the comp. if comp, makes sound then the motherbord shoud be oke.
