The average memory chips in a computer work by storing data temporarily and allowing faster access to programs than a hard drive. The speed allows for less disk requests and makes the system faster.

How do you reset my computer ram drive?

Ram is temporary memory, which holds its information using constantly applied power. To reset it, you can simply shut down your computer, unplug it from power, and press the power button a few times. This will exaust the power which would otherwise be used by the RAM, thus reseting it. If for some reason this does not work, then while your computer is still off and unplugged, remove your RAM chips by releasing the latches on both sides. Almost as soon as they come out, they will reset. Then, carefully plug them back in, making sure that they latch in and seat correctly.
