Solve : weird error code?

Answer»

my acer laptop is giving me on occasion an error code that says missing memory, it says to CONTACT manufacturer, computer is out of warranty and Acer wants almost $300 to repair . at that price its probably better to just buy a new one. should i take it to a computer repair shop locally ? or is there a way to find out what is missing and get it downloaded myself. it is an Acer Aspire 5515What does the error message say exactly, and when (in what circumstances) does it show?
it only says memory missing  contact manufacturer, only comes up once in awhile Quote from: jaybee on December 31, 2013, 12:46:17 PM

memory missing  contact manufacturer

Those exact words? No others?

If the message is about RAM failure, there is nothing you can "download" to fix that; it's a hardware fault.
Memory missing isn't an error message i've ever seen from Windows...
Maybe i been doin this too long. Quote from: patio on December 31, 2013, 04:36:25 PM

I have asked twice now for the exact wording of the message, but it does not seem to be forthcoming. NEITHER is a description of when it happens.

I think I remember hearing about Windows issuing a warning message if the amount of RAM available CHANGES from the value at login. This would indicate a hardware problem such as flaky RAM or motherboard. Sometimes at boot time or after a reboot a message like ""the amount of system memory has changed" can appear, which is why I wanted to know when the message occurs (that is, at boot or at random times during otherwise normal OPERATION)
In that case it could also possibly be a flat CMOS battery as well...

We may never know... i will go thrugh thewindows diagnostic again and WRITE down exactly what it says
