the problem is probably that your stick of RAM has either
been damaged, gotten fried, isnt fully connected or
filled up. for now, lets deal with the later of the four.
turning your computer off doesnt clear off your RAM. turn
off your computer, and flip the power switch on the back
of your computer. let it sit for a few minutes and then
flip it back on. when there is still electricity running
through the RAM, it keeps everything in memory. when you
reboot, everything should be wiped from your RAM, and
your computer should work fine. if this doesnt work, take
the side off your computer, and lightly push in the RAM.
if you dont know what it looks like, it will be attached
to the motherboard, it'll be prolly 3-4 inches long and
will stick about and inch off the board. if the
grey/white/tan/off-white clips on the ends arent fully in
place, push lightly on the RAM until it pops into place.
if its neither of these problems, i suggest taking your
computer to someone that can tell you if the RAM needs to
be replaced or not.
