Can anyone please tell me if there is an easy way of
checking what type of ram is in a computer, apart from
actually opening the computer up, taking it out and
looking at it?
I thought it might have said something in control panel
system. I'm sure I've seen it somewhere, just can't
remember where.

Thanks in advance.

What make and model is your PC ?

Crucial.com an excellent web site that helps you identify what type of
memory your system uses and what choices you have for upgrades.
The also are generally very competitive prices.
 
Its HP make, not sure what model. Its my brother in laws.
He lives 4 hours away. I will have to get him to find out.
Is the model number on the back?

You can use CPU-Z from http://www.cpuid.com or Or EVEREST from
http://www.lavalys.com/index.php?page=product&view=1&subpage=5
to find out the type of ram in your computer.

Have him download and run on of the system scanners such as
Everest from http://www.lavalys.com/index.php?page=home or
SiSoft Sandra www.sisoft.com
Bel Arc Advisor www.belarc.com

These will scan the computer and report all the details,
from make, model and serial number of the mobo to details on
the RAM and the software installed.

These are free programs.

Greetings --

Well, if you don't have the PC's manual, and don't want to open
the case and look, these three utilities are quite useful:

SiSoft's Sandra
http://www.sisoftware.co.uk/index.php?dir=&location=sware_dl&lang=en

Belarc Advisor
http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html

Unlimited Possibilities' AIDA32

The site that provided and supported the AID32 no longer offers it, and that
site is no longer available, as it has been taken down. The site owner(s)
announced this long ago, and it became official as of last week.

From http://www.aida32.hu/ :

* AIDA32.HU, THE WEB SITE OF AIDA32 IS CLOSED *

That does make it more difficult. Has he said why it won't
boot? Does he know how to boot to safe mode? Do you know
what his operating system is? Does he know about boot
disks?

Is it plugged in and the switch on the wall turned ON? No
blown fuses?

He said it started then shut down and won't start again.
I have tried to explain to him how to boot in safe mode,
he's going to try.
He's using WinXP home.
He doesn't know about boot disks.
