Default Laptop memory?

Okay i have a HP pc it has 4GB Ram 2.53Ghz and dual core processors

I got my laptop half a year ago, but since then my PC has become quite slow at running some programs like PR. So i reinstalled windows last night, but when running PR it still laggs allot !

Some people talk about the memory of your laptop can be damaged if ur pc gets too warm?

if thats true can any one tell me what i can do about it please thank you

Default Re: Laptop memory?

When you post the Model Number (look at label on bottom) i can look for a manual.

Normaly the memory is on the bottom side of Notebook - so you should easy feel if it's getting too hot - means that you can't keep your hand there for long...

As it has 4GB i think it will be DDR2 minimum - which runs with less voltage ( than DDR1) that way it doesn't get to warm - as long as you have enough airflow (at the Bottom too) - so never place it on your bed or pillow

Next thing is: yes RAM can get defective by overheating - you can check with Vista Memtest from Bootmenu or InstallDVD or if you use XP go download Memtest86+ Iso, burn to bootable CD, boot from it and let it run minimum one time complete (all 10 Test) it will show you if it's defective:

If you get error messages and don't know how to change memory

send me a PM - otherwise please post result and ask for more suggestions.
