Can I replace or reseat the RAM?

crwdns2934249:0crwdne2934249:0:

Hi,

My Dell XPS 9700 has been persistently buggy for a long time. Fan runs constantly, occasional unexplained freeze-ups. I was doing something unrelated to the problems when I discovered that Windows believes I only have 8 gigs of RAM on this thing. I checked software & boot issues and nothing turned up. Seems like the remaining option is to replace/reseat the RAM. How difficult would it be to crack this thing open and do that myself. I've replaced batteries in phones, but that's about all the iFixit I have ever done.

thanks,

Doug
