Memory Problems

If you receive an insufficient memory
message—
• Save and close any open files and exit any
open programs you are not using to see if
that resolves the problem.
• See the software documentation for
minimum memory requirements. If
necessary, install additional memory (See
the Service Manual on the Dell Support
website at support.dell.com).
• Reseat the memory modules (See the
Service Manual on the Dell Support website
at support.dell.com) to ensure that your
computer is successfully communicating
with the memory.
If you experience other memory problems —
• Ensure that you are following the memory
installation guidelines (see the Service
Manual on the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com).
