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:
1 Click Start, then Shut Down.
2 Click Shut Down.
The operating system shuts down and turns off the computer
automatically.
3 Remove the memory module, following the instructions in
"Removing a memory module" on page
4 Reinstall the memory module, following the instructions in
"Installing additional memory (optional)" on page
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.
