What is a common symptom of RAM failure?

Frequent crashes or random restarts are indeed a common symptom of RAM failure. This occurs because RAM is critical for the temporary storage of data that the CPU accesses quickly during operation. If the RAM is failing, it can cause instability in the system. Data that is not read or written correctly may lead to operating system errors, program crashes, or unexpected behavior like random restarts. Since the system relies heavily on RAM for multitasking and running applications, any issues here can significantly impact overall performance and stability.

While slow internet connection, unresponsive software, and corrupted files can indicate a variety of other issues—such as network problems, hard drive failures, or software malfunctions—they are not specifically tied to RAM failure in the same way that crashes and restarts are. These symptoms can arise from separate hardware or software problems and do not directly point to the condition of the RAM itself.
