  • I recently had a problem with an older system (first generation i7, so pretty old) and I thought this might interest some of you guys out there :)

    So, sometimes you insert a used memory stick into your motherboard and it fails to POST. I’m talking about RAM that has been used. Maybe you got it from an old machine or something like that. For new ram sticks, this does not apply as the contacts are probably fine/clean.
    Please be aware that this will not fix a faulty memory stick. It will only help if that ram module has dirty contacts. It just happens in some cases and cleaning them helps a lot.
    So, sometimes some corrosion builds up on the RAM’s pins. And that might lead to problems/errors. If this is your case, you can clean these with a little bit of patience.
    It’s probably a good idea to blow some air with a compressed air can into the ram slots to make sure everything is clean over there too. Especially if some slots have been sitting empty for a while and your pc has some dust built up.
    As far as cleaning Ram slots, after unplugging the pc, pressing the power button for a couple of seconds and waiting over 1h to let the capacitors dissipate their charge, I would moisten a memory module with a bit of 95% purity or better rubbing alcohol and insert/remove the module from the slot a couple of times. Then blow air again, wait for everything to dry properly and the alcohol to evaporate and try using the slot again.
    DO THIS ONLY IF YOU REALLY NEED TO. I don’t like ‘prevention’ cleaning ram slots or PCI-E slots. The pins inside are quite easy to ruin.
    Thanks for watching how to clean RAM and RAM slots.

    Two thumbs up! I didn't know you can also clean it with alcohol.
    For the longest time, I've been using the eraser method which I really hated.

      @@wolfofmortis818 Not necessarily. I think I have access to the 'wintergreen' variant of rubbing alcohol, so it has additional ingredients so I'm not sure if it's good for electronics. Fortunately I got my hands on some electrical contact cleaner which should work fine.

    Thanks for the video. Learnt for the first time that there are methods other than that eraser which my engineer used to use it to clean it.
    I had a POST issue, cleaned it with rubber as I saw your video after the cleaning. If that thing happens again, I am going with your method.

    Erasers will definitely remove the gold coating. Bad idea.

      As far as I know no. It's very rare that dirt can get into your HDMI plug. Check the connections or even try swapping the cable with another one.

    Please dont use any kind of liquid because it will likely destroy the ram

      Haven't had any problem with any RAM type & rubbing alcohol preferably >70%. Of course, you just put a little on a Q-tip and wait for it to dry after rubbing the contact pads (just the contact pads not the whole memory stick). But this is the last resort thing anyway, to at least try to make it boot. A memcheck run is still needed of course.
