After installing a new RAM module, you boot your 64-bit system, but the display remains blank. What is the MOST likely cause of this issue? A. The Registry is configured to write to faulty sections of RAM.
B. The POST failed to recognize the new memory.
C. You have installed a 32-bit memory module.
D. You have installed a non-parity RAM on an ECC system.
The correct answer is B. The POST failed to recognize the new memory.
Explanation: When you install new RAM, the Power-On Self-Test (POST) is responsible for recognizing and verifying the memory. If the system cannot detect the new RAM during the boot process, it will result in a blank display. This issue could occur due to improper seating of the RAM, compatibility issues, or defective memory modules. Always ensure RAM is installed correctly and that it is compatible with the motherboard.
