Determining the amount of RAM installed on a computer and verifying its functionality is crucial for troubleshooting system performance issues and ensuring optimal system operation. The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) provides a diagnostic tool to check the RAM configuration and detect potential problems.
Accessing the BIOS settings typically involves pressing a specific key or key combination during the computer’s boot-up process. Once in the BIOS, navigate to the Memory or RAM-related section. Here, you can view information about the installed RAM modules, including their size, speed, and configuration. Some BIOS versions also offer diagnostic tests that can help identify faulty RAM.
