I tried 12 times, and it froze before I could do anything. It has been showing signs of dying for 6 months, and I think it has finally died. But my guess is that the RAM is dead, not the computer. But I don't think I can get it fixed before Christmas.  Bring it to us, we will repire it ;D Do you have a mailing address? ;D I have to also see how much it costs to airmail it overseas. It might be cheaper to get a new computer, which can be as cheap as $250. No, I think that was the original RAM that died. I will try saving everything on external harddrive and erasing the computer. But I have to do that at home since I don't have an external harddrive here. And I don't go home for another 5 days. Oh, and be nice to Bryn. Not everybody knows computers.    |

Oh, and hm, the last thing was an internet security popped up saying that I have a virus and click here to delete it. But never click on an internet security pop up. It is often a scam. Always trust your security over the internet's. Therefore, I did not click on it. 6 months ago, it started getting slower after I cleaned out the harddrive, deleting temporary files. But I noticed, the same thing, the internet temporarily freezes, on the schools computer's, too. Could be whatever automatic download Micro-crap sent that messed up the harddrive. |

About price you have to talk with Great Bear ;D ;D You mean he'll pay for the shipping.  Wow, he is very generous. On external harddrive at home. Also have some files saved on USB thumb drive. You will be amazed how much a tiny 4G thumb drive can hold. ;D |

what is going on here ? did i say something wrong ? No dearest. It is just that you can't get a new RAM. It is part of the computer and almost impossible to remove. |

I KNOW then what about reading this ? Replacing Corrupt RAM 1. Step 1 Know the indications of a corrupt RAM for replacing it. The major signs of bad RAM are long beeps, blue screen or random crashes when you run programs such as Photoshop or games. 2. Step 2 Run the memory test software to determine if RAM is corrupt. You can easily download this software online. Visit "Microsoft Online Crash Analysis" (See link below), which leads you to "Download Windows Memory Diagnostic." You may also try Freedownloadscenter or Snapfiles (see links below). 3. Step 3 Remember that if you have multiple memory sticks, you need to run the memory test software individually for each stick. 4. Step 4 Verify the type of existing RAM. Depending on the type of RAM, you will need to install either SIMM (single in-line memory module) or DIMM (dual in-line memory module) chips. You may have a single 1 GB chip or a pair of 512 MB chips. 5. Step 5 Learn more about different types of RAM and notice differences between them in speed and parity. The most common types are SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM) and RDRAM (Rambus Dynamic RAM). Pentiums and Celerons have SDRAM installed in the CPU. Newer machines have DDR (Double-Data-Rate) and RDRAM. 6. Step 6 Become familiar with the installation process. First switch off your computer and shut down the power completely, if it is on. Disconnect all cables originating from and to the CPU carefully. 7. Step 7 Open your computer case by using a + screwdriver. 8. Step 8 Understand your motherboard. Locate the RAM socket, video card, hard drive and the processor box before you begin the installation process. 9. Step 9 Examine the RAM socket (memory slots) and clean any dirt before inserting the RAM chip. Never use a cloth or liquid spray to clean. Carefully use a vacuum cleaner instead. 10. Step 10 Open the RAM socket latch. The latch will often be secured with the clips to hold the RAM chip in place. Open all the clips. Your computer may have a 72-pin or 164-pin RAM socket, depending on the year of manufacture. 11. Step 11 Place the chips securely in the latch and re-clip it. You should hear a "snap" sound that indicates proper locking. 12. Step 12 Test the RAM installation. Put the covers on but do not screw the case closed. Reconnect all cables and switch on your computer. Look for BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) by pressing F2 or F8 on startup. Navigate the menu to locate RAM memory and make sure that the RAM you installed is detected. 13. Step 13 Reboot your computer. Use My Computer to authenticate the newly installed RAM. Put all the screws back to the original position. Your computer should now run smoother and faster with more RAM. here www.ehow.com/how_2020132_replace-corrupt-ram.html |
