Memory problems 
Incorrectly connected or faulty memory modules may cause errors 
that seem to be hardware or even software related. It is worthwhile 
checking for these first:
1
Click Start, and then click the arrow next to the Lock button in 
the lower-right part of the Start menu.
The Shut Down menu appears.
2
Click Shut Down.
The computer shuts down completely.
3
Remove the memory module, following the instructions in 
4
Reinstall the memory module, following the instructions in 
, and making sure the 
module is seated properly.
5
Check for the error again.
6
If the error recurs, remove the memory module entirely and 
check for the error again.
If removing the memory module eliminates the error, the 
memory module may be faulty. If the error recurs without the 
memory module installed, the error is not caused by the 
memory module.
TECHNICAL NOTE: You must have at least one memory module 
installed for the computer to work.
