Memory module problems

Incorrectly connected or faulty memory modules may cause
errors that seem to be device-related. It is worthwhile
checking for these first:
CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the memory module.
Before handling the module, touch a grounded metal surface.
1 Click Start, Turn off computer.
2 Click Turn Off.
The operating system shuts down and turns off the
computer automatically.
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.

Power and the batteries

Your computer receives its power through the AC adapter and
power cable or from the system batteries (main battery,
optional high-capacity battery and real-time clock (RTC)
battery). Power problems are interrelated. For example, a
faulty AC adapter or power cable will neither power the
computer nor recharge the batteries.
