    Please note - if you use a cheap eraser to clean your RAM, it'll leave behind a rubbery film which could cause issues again down the track. It's recommended that you use a microfibre cloth with a dab of isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the pins afterwards to avoid a film being left behind.

    I have never dared open my computer before. My monitor stopped sensing the computer and one tech website suggested to clean your ram sticks. When I searched for how to do that, your video came up. I cleaned them and put them back but not firmly enough and the computer beeped a code that meant that . I pushed them in more firmly, set everything back up and it worked!!!!!!!

  • @Snake-ms7sj
    @Snake-ms7sj 4 года назад +14

    I was replacing a cpu cooler and took out my 4 sticks of 8GB RAM to make more room. Put everything back together and then my computer would turn on start to boot up then turn off and start the whole problem again. I eventually narrowed it down to one stick of RAM causing the problem, because when I removed it, the computer would boot up. So it appeared one stick went bad ....... or was it? As I looked at the contacts i noticed a smudge on one of the contacts. I must have accidentally touched one of the contacts when I was removing them from the PC. So small, almost invisible. I cleaned it, reinserted the RAM, and BAM! It worked and the PC booted up fine. Something so simple.

    1:01 all these 3 problems happened with me yesterday, some were progressive and booting up problem happened suddenly.
    I had this problem earlier, that time i cleaned the Ram slot only (with air), Pc started nicely after that, and i didn't touch RAM stick, just to not mess anything.
    This time the symptoms were different and they took time to develop and deteriorate. First I thought it was graphics driver problem as most problems i had were with graphics.
    Now, I'm glad i found your video, thanks.
