•See the software documentation for minimum memory requirements. If necessary, install additional memory (See the Service Manual on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com).
•Reseat the memory modules (See the Service Manual on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com) to ensure that your computer is successfully communicating with the memory.
