The function of random access memory (RAM) allows your PC to store files temporarily so that you can perform multiple tasks without having to close and reopen applications that you want to work on. Before diving into your PC, make sure you have an open, flat surface that isn’t carpet. Be sure you are not building up static electricity, so that you don’t damage any components.
