HP Envy 15-u001dx RAM Replacement

Introduction

Follow this guide if you wish to replace or upgrade the RAM of your HP Envy 15-u001dx.

RAM (Random Access Memory) is where your computer stores the information that it is currently using. This allows it to access it much quicker than if it had to retrieve that information from the drives every time. There are a variety of reasons that you may want to remove/replace the RAM on your HP Envy 15-u001dx. First, the RAM itself could be going bad. There are a couple of signs that your RAM is going bad:

  • if you lose recently created files, or they become corrupted
  • if your computer reboots itself, or goes to the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death)
  • if your computer runs progressively slower the longer it is on

You may also want to upgrade your RAM to improve the performance and longevity of the device.

Once the motherboard is removed, replacing the RAM is a fairly simple process, and requires no tools. Still, it is important to be careful when working with electronic components because they are semi-fragile.
