Introduction
If your Sony Vaio VPCEB11FM has had a decrease in performance, frequent crashes, or random reboots, faulty RAM may be the culprit. The following guide will show you how to replace the RAM in your PC.
RAM is the short term memory storage of your PC and is responsible for allowing your PC to quickly access important information. Faulty RAM may limit your PC's performance by slowing down the speed at which components can share information.
You may check the current performance of the RAM in your PC by first pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc to bring up Windows Task Manager. Then click the "Performance" tab and select "Memory" in the sidebar. This will display a graph of your RAM usage.
Prior to the first step of this guide make sure to power down your PC and disconnect it from any external power source.
