How to Properly Clean RAM on your Desktop PC 

Please note - if you use a cheap eraser to clean your RAM, it'll leave behind a rubbery film which could cause issues again down the track. It's recommended that you use a microfibre cloth with a dab of isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the pins afterwards to avoid a film being left behind.

I have never dared open my computer before. My monitor stopped sensing the computer and one tech website suggested to clean your ram sticks. When I searched for how to do that, your video came up. I cleaned them and put them back but not firmly enough and the computer beeped a code that meant that . I pushed them in more firmly, set everything back up and it worked!!!!!!! Thank you

OMG IM SOOOO GRATEFUL i havd to stop worming for a day because my monitor showing NO SIGNAL and i freaked out but after watcjing tjis and I tried it, i swear my pc worked perfectly. i love youuuu

its crazy how something so small can cause such a huge problem

You made my day, been watching 100 videos about black screen and I’ve been working all day trying to fix this issue and then it’s so simple thank you so much you are the best🙏🏆❤️💛💚

Lifesaving video! Just bought a pc and monitor from Carousell and it got me shook when it wouldn’t turn on. Went to some shop to get an eraser, cleaned it, and it worked! Still unbelievable how some dirt on your ram can cause such a big problem.

I'ma recommend this to everyone I know This is a Frickin life saver

Thank you so much for this video. Five years later it is still relevant. My trusty PC just started working again. Thanks!! I used some contact cleaner with a soft brush on the RAM gold contacts as well. Same with graphics card. Everything got the same treatment. Changed the 10+ yr old motherboard battery while I had it open. Thanks!!

Thank you so much for this vid! My pc kept completely freezing up when I was trying to download a game. Cleaned the ram sticks with an eraser, used a brush to clean out the slots, and now it works just fine!

Thank you! You saved me the trouble of bringing my pc to the repair shop! Hope good things happen to you!

Thanks dude, I finished all my homework looking to play gmod with my friend and my pc weren't okay in the morning. This fixed my problem. Thanks! (not a bot btw)

I was so frustrated I was about to get a sledge hammer and trash this pc. Tried this and voila! I did notice while using the eraser on the ram that the change was visible. I though a simple dry wipedown would do the trick but it took a goddman eraser to bring my pc back to life. Appreciate it.

Thanks, recently got a dell optiplex 790, had quit working the other day trying keyboards and said no signal from computer, and had pulled out the cards and replaced them, but tonight cleaned pins with a cloth and put in a new battery! Working again. Tried a new dell keyboard and monitor, working again! Texas

Thank you! Cleaning with an eraser did the trick. It was boot looping before that, not even POSTing.

Dude thx so much simple and straight to the point I like it I hope u get famous rly fast :D

Bro thanks for this video i lost 2.5 usd for ram cleaning at first But i tried ur method it worked thanks a lot

Thank you good sir. After installing new cooler one of my slot and stick was not working. I did the eraser thing and gently brushed the slot area. Now it's working.

A video that you literally make of just 2 or 3 minutes MAX...

Does this work for memory_managment error BSOD ?

2:30 Legally, they can't void your warranty. But if you wanted to challenge this in court, it would cost far more than to buy a new PC.

i would spray the brush bristles to keep them wet before getting to the slot; you know, on planet earth, things get pulled down fast,in this case,that liquid/spray

Hey i have a 4gb ram Vgen it has a black spot on it before it was yellow what do i do ??

I then turn my windows 10 desktop Pc off. turn off power at the back, press the power button to release any excess charge and try to turn it on again. I try this process 4 or 5 times to get the computer to boot up. please can you help. thanks

Can dirt actually cause ram loss?

I've been dealing with this 2 long beeps error with Red LED from my HP SFF. I think i really need that contact cleaner since the eraser part wont do the trick anymore. Lastweek the eraser trick fixes my problem but a day after the problem will just go back again.

Great video buddy...can you help me in some other matter....I have a GTX 750TI graphics card...Not working...However I have found out that probably a Rat has entered and urinated in the circuit....How can I clean that...does a DW spray works the same way???...Some ideas please....

Mine keeps blue screening and saying “memory_managment

I advice not to insert and reinsert the RAM, you'll damage the RAM gold pins by scratching it to the RAM slots metal contacts...
