Einleitung
This guide is for replacing the RAM of the ASUS TUF Gaming FX505DY, which is the DDR4 SO-DIMM form factor.
The RAM provides the CPU with memory to complete tasks and processes. Generally speaking, more RAM will result in faster speeds as the CPU will have more space to work, but this is eventually halted by running out of CPU or graphics performance depending on the tasks. RAM is vulnerable to electrical damage, and while it has no moving parts, is also susceptible to drops and impacts.
Faulty RAM will result in the computer returning a fatal error or not booting up at all. In computers with larger amounts of RAM, damaged RAM may only cause an error at higher utilization. In this case, running an intensive software such as a newer videogame or video renderer may reveal the issue. If RAM is damaged or removed while the computer is off, the system may start normally or produce a repeating series of one long and two short beeps. If RAM is damaged or removed while the computer is on, usual symptoms include an immediate crash or significant audio and visual distortion, usually in the form of an uneven or symmetric or static.
Make sure to fully shut down the device and unplug any chargers and peripherals before beginning.
