Memory, being one of the most important factors in the functioning of a PC, may cause a variety of problems. All the data that is required for the operations of a PC is stored in the memory slots. If memory issues do not manifest themselves in the form of some error message or other apparently visible symptoms, it becomes very difficult to pinpoint the cause of the problems. A memory issue can be attributed to hardware problems or to lack of maintenance and not clearing unnecessary programs, which eventually leads to a stage where the Windows starts memory dump.

Memory problems can range from Blue Screen and other serious errors to system crash and the system failing to recognize the installed memory. Every time you turn your PC on, the BIOS checks the system memory and therefore severe memory problems can be found quickly as they would render your PC unbootable or your screen may go blank.
