Introduction

If you’re noticing a dramatic decrease in operating speed, your computer is crashing while performing, or your applications are responding slowly, faulty RAM may be your issue.

Overall, upgrading your RAM optimizes your computers performance, so even if you are not experiencing any major issues with your HP laptop, it is a good idea to swap the RAM card for a compatible one of a higher storage rating.

Some computers have two or more RAM sticks that can be easy to access or tucked away where it’s hard or risky to get to them. When replacing you RAM make sure you are replacing the right piece and be extremely careful not to rush the process of replacing them.

This replacement or upgrade does not require any special skills such as soldering.
