Memory module problems

CAUTION: Static electricity can damage the memory module.
Before you handle the module, touch a grounded metal surface to
discharge any static electricity you may have built up.
To avoid damaging the memory module, be careful not to touch its
gold connector bar (on the side you insert into the computer).
Incorrectly connected or faulty memory modules may cause
errors that seem to be device-related. It is worthwhile
checking for these first:
1 Turn off your computer according to the instructions in
"Turn Off or Shut down command" on page
2 Remove the memory module, following the instructions
in
3 Reinstall the memory module, following the instructions
in
and making sure it is seated properly.
4 Check for the error again.
5 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.
TECHNICAL NOTE: You must have at least one memory module
installed for the computer to work.
