One of the reasons for the slow operation of a mobile computer is insufficient RAM. If you decide to replace your old RAM boards, then learn how to properly select and install these devices.
Necessary
Speccy
Instructions
Step 1
Determine what type of RAM your laptop is working with. This is a very important step, because installing the wrong type of boards can damage the computer's motherboard and the RAM modules themselves. Download the Speccy program and install it. Run this utility and select the "RAM" menu.
Step 2
Find and remember the type of installed memory sticks. Pay attention to the volume of the planks used. Remember that you need to connect larger boards. Explore the contents of the Memory Slots menu. Find out the total number of connectors for RAM brackets.
Step 3
Find the item "DRAM Frequency". It contains information about the frequency of operation of the RAM strips. When buying new planks, pay attention to this indicator. It directly affects the performance of these devices.
Step 4
Purchase new memory cards of the required size. Turn the laptop over and unscrew the screw that secures the cover of the hole where the installed memory strips are located. Check out old plans. Connect one new one.
Step 5
Turn on your laptop and wait for the operating system to load. Open the Speccy program. Make sure the new RAM strip is working properly. Turn off the laptop and connect another bracket. Turn on the mobile computer again. Check the synchronization of the bars. Open the control panel and select the "Administration" menu. Open Windows Memory Checker.
Step 6
Confirm the restart of the computer and wait until the analysis of the stability of the operation of the RAM sticks is completed. Do not purchase boards that are too large. They may not be recognized by the system or may not work at full capacity. A low CPU bus frequency can also slow down the speed of communication with the RAM cards.
