Troubleshooting on RAM

  • "Damage" physical ". To overcome this you must check the physical condition of the RAM. Open your computer case, then take off the RAM. Clean if dirty RAM and socket. Check also if there is rust. You must also ensure that the RAM is of the same material (gold or silver).  
  • If different, you should replace the RAM. 
  • In some BIOS ROM shadowing and 16 bit drivers, sometimes wearing some (read: little) RAM before Windows starts. There are also some BIOS ROM shadowing feature that will copy the contents of system and video BIOS ROM into RAM in order to improve computer performance (On DOS and Windows 3.1). 
  • This is because the speed is lower ROM than RAM. But if you are using Windows 95/98/NT with minimal memory ROM shadowing feature should be turned off (from the CMOS setup), because Windows 95/98/NT rarely access the ROM so that RAM can be used by Windows.The use of the VGA card on board. If for example you have 32 Mb RAM and 2 MB VGA card, the RAM that can be used just as much as 30 Mb (32 Mb - 2 Mb). So you should not use the VGA card on board.
  • There are drivers or programs that run from config.sys or autoexec.bat that works using the RAM. The solution: Edit the autoexec.bat and config.sys files using Notepad. Then edit the line that "suspicious" or are roughly used to load the program. When you meet add the word REM (but if you add the word REM then the program will not di-load/dijalankan). When you wear a 4x CD-ROM driver from TEAC, change the parameters xmssize = -1 in the autoexec.bat to xmssize = 0.
  • Virtual device driver running from system.ini. To fix this open the system by clicking Start - Run - type SysEdit. Select the System.ini. Then edit the line that roughly used to load virtual device driver. Another alternative is to create a new System.ini file.
  • Errors in the CMOS settings. On some computers there are features of the Memory Hole at 16 Mb or Hold to 15 Mb of RAM. If the feature is enabled so if you have a larger RAM of 15 Mb or 16 Mb, Windows will detect it as much as 15 Mb or 16 Mb. To overcome this, please disable these features.
  • Ramdrive.sys load from config.sys Check your Config.sys file for a line containing "Ramdrive.sys." If you have this line, it means you are using a RAM drive. To disable the RAM drive, remove or disable the line in the Config.sys file contains That "ramdrive.sys." To disable the line, use a text editor (Such as Notepad) to edit the Config.sys file and place a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line. Open the config.sys file with Notepad. Check on the file, whether there is a line ramdrive.sys. If so, delete the line
