NOTE: The memory count will be affected by configurations with the Management Engine (ME)
enabled. The ME uses 8MB of system memory in single channel mode or 16MB of memory in dual-
channel mode to download, decompress, and execute the ME firmware for Out-of-Band (OOB), third-
party data storage, and other management functions.
System will not boot or does not function properly after installing additional memory modules.
Cause Solution
A memory module is not installed in the DIMM1 or XMM1
socket.
Ensure that a memory module is installed in the DIMM1 or
XMM1 socket on the system board. This socket must be
populated with a memory module.
Memory module is not the correct type or speed grade for the
system or the new memory module is not seated properly.
Replace module with the correct industry-standard device for
the computer. On some models, ECC and non-ECC memory
modules cannot be mixed.
Out of memory error.
Cause Solution
You have run out of memory to run the application. Check the application documentation to determine the
memory requirements.
Memory count during POST is wrong.
Cause Solution
The memory modules may not be installed correctly. Check that the memory modules have been installed correctly
and that proper modules are used.
Integrated graphics may use system memory. No action required.
Insufficient memory error during operation.
Cause Solution
Too many Terminate and Stay Resident programs (TSRs) are
installed.
Delete any TSRs that you do not need.
You have run out of memory for the application. Check the memory requirements for the application or add
more memory to the computer.
