After upgrading your system’s memory, you boot up your computer and are met with a blank screen and several beeps during the POST. You checked the RAM was compatible with your system’s motherboard before purchasing it. What is your next step?
Explanation
Answer: B - If after upgrading your system memory, you are met with a blank screen and several beeps from POST during booting up, your next step should be reseating the DIMM and booting again.
Key Takeaway: When RAM DIMMs are not seated correctly they can cause a blank screen and a series of beeps in POST (power on self-test). Therefore, your next step in this situation should be to turn off the system (and unplug it from the wall), reseat the DIMM, and try again. If that doesn’t work, you can try a different Bay and different DIMM chips, since it may be faulty.
