Cleaning RAM and RAM slots is an important part of maintaining your computer. RAM is a type of memory that helps your computer run smoothly.

2. Open the case of your computer and remove any external devices or cables.
3. Look inside the case at the memory modules (usually two or four) and the slots in which they sit.
4. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the screws that secure each module to its slot.
Then, carefully pull out each module.

Use a damp cloth to wipe down the modules, then replace the screws and put the modules back in place. Be sure to reattach any cables before putting everything back in place!.
6. Dust any loose particles off of themodules and slots with a vacuum cleaner or a dust cloth. Be sure not to get any debris on the circuit boards inside the computer!
