If your laptop is running slow, having issues with it randomly crashing, or programs not being able to start up correctly, your laptops RAM(Random Access Memory) may be the issue. Use this guide to learn how to properly and safely replace the RAM on your laptop.
RAM can potentially start to go bad due to time, as it slowly becomes outdated by the other hardware and software on the device. Replacing the RAM on your laptop is also recommended due to the Lenovo ThinkPad E15 Gen 3 only coming with 8 gigabytes of RAM. This will allow the laptop to run faster with better performance overall.
Replacing the RAM of your laptop while not expensive, shouldn't be the first method you attempt to resolve your problems. Instead try to use the methods found in Lenovo E15 ThinkPad Gen 3 Running Slow, to properly diagnose the issues with your laptop.
This guide requires opening the laptop case and exposing internal components. Be cautious of sharp edges and avoid touching any circuitry and exposed electronics to prevent damage from static electricity. Use an anti-static wrist strap (such as one of these) if possible, and make sure your laptop is completely powered off and unplugged before beginning the replacement process.
