Random Access Memory (RAM)

 There are other types of memory that computers use to store data and information, but random-access memory (RAM) is the type that is most frequently addressed. Important codes and currently utilized data are stored in a RAM device, which loads them promptly when the corresponding programs or apps are launched.

Since RAM is a volatile form of memory, all of its contents are updated when the computer is shut down. This facilitates faster loading times by enabling the device to swiftly assimilate fresh data during the subsequent session.

By purchasing a better RAM device, also known as a RAM stick, with a larger storage capacity, almost any common computer, including small laptops, can be upgraded with more RAM. However, you may not use all of the RAM depending on your computing activities, so you should know how much RAM is best for your computer based on its main use (gaming, work, etc.).

Over time, a damaged RAM stick will impair your computer's performance, leading to unexpected RAM decreases, software crashes, and failure to boot, among other issues. However, it may not always cause your computer to malfunction.
