| 1447535 | 2018-03-20 22:53:00 | Hi guys I have a Windows 10 machine and its giving me a few problems lately. I remember a few years back one of my machines ram sticks had crapped out and after I replaced it it was good again. I have forgotten how I tested the RAM, a quick Google shows many hard ways, surely there is a quick and easy test? |

The best test is to replace with new RAM , not so practical for home users Or, if you have 2 sticks, remove 1 & see how it runs, then do same with the other Or , try removing & reseating the RAM a few times. That actually works sometimes |

| 1447539 | 2018-03-21 00:29:00 | The only times I've had RAM problems, removing the sticks, cleaning the contacts on stick and mobo, reinsertion (with care to ensure the mobo isn't bowed out from the middle of the interface), and all has been good afterwards. The bowing mobo issue is real. It can be necessary to support the rear of the mobo while pushing the sticks home. |
