Gateway E-5400 Ram
Random Access Memory, RAM, stores random bits of information for the CPU to use for programs. RAM is actually volatile memory as all the data it holds gets deleted every time your turn the computer off. Because RAM is only temporary storage for the processor, it does not have the ability to store files such as picture or movies. But, it will affect the speed of the computer. Having the RAM installed is mandatory for the Gateway E-5400 to boot up. The RAM speed is dictated by the specifications from the motherboard, and the minimum storage size is governed by the OS. If you are ever in doubt, remember that bigger is always better!
Clues to watch for to know your RAM memory is in dire straights
- You may get quite a few random reboots on your desktop intermittently
- Nothing happens when trying to boot up your system
- The system does not display the right RAM size
- The main screen does not turn on when booting up
