Is my RAM faulty?

Fatih19 · June 13, 2021

So a year ago my computer (specs below) didn't want to boot for some reason. I pressed the power button and nothing happens. I then brought it to a local computer repair shop. The technician disassembled the computer and reassembled it on a test bench, which magically was able to boot. He then told me that it's likely that the side of my RAM that slots into the motherboard is dirty, he then advised me to just take out the RAM, clean that part of the RAM, and insert it back in the event that my computer refused to boot in the future. Ever since then, this has happened twice and the issue can always be resolved by cleaning the RAM. Is there something wrong with the RAM?

Have you ever run a Memory Diagnostic check? You shouldn't have to clean your ram every now and then just for your system to boot.. It can have other reasons, suggest you do that diagnostic first if you haven't already and go from there.

I have ran it twice and both times it said that my memory doesn't have any problems.
