Memory means the RAM of the CPU and when your computer is switched off you can't save any form of data in your memory (RAM). This is because RAM is a place in the CPU's system where data is stored temporarily and it gets removed as soon as you turn off your CPU. (RAM requires a constant voltage to retain information.) So by turning the PC off, all data in the RAM is lost.

What does memory also called random access memory or RAM do?
RAM - is a temporary storage area for the computer to use. However - once the power is switched off - the RAM memory is erased. Therefore - any programs and data are stored on the hard-drive.
What does volatile RAM mean?
RAM = Random Access Memory. The memory used in a computer to hold programs and data while it is running. This memory is said to be 'volatile' because when the computer is switched off and there is no power available to the memory all the stored information is lost. With 'non-volatile memory' (such as used in a USB memory stick) when the power is removed the data remains as it was and can be accessed again when power is restored.
