Is POST sufficient to detect most memory problems?
Unfortunately, no. The specifics of what the POST (Power On Self Test) actually tests is determined by the manufacturer. However, most only only check that memory is available and the size. Most computers have a memory diagnostic tool located in the BIOS. This diagnostic usually checks the memory's ability for information to be written to, read from, and deleted.

Will a video card with DDR3 memory work with DDR2 desktop memory?
Yes. These memories are independent of each other. Just make sure it uses the correct type of slot and that the power supply you have will be sufficient to power it
What sort of graphics card is needed to play games like Call of Duty?
A recent card with about a gigabyte of memory will be more than sufficient to play Call of Duty.The problem is that you don't know what future games you'll want to play,but these are always hungry for more power.
Is robots smarter than humans?
When it comes to raw computational power and memory access, YES. When it comes to solving problem and strategizing, NO.
What is voliate memory?
memory that requires power to maintain
What is the best solution to avoid power shortage?
Sufficient power generation capacity
What is the function of volatile and Non volatile memory?
non volatile memory is the computer memory that can retain stored information when not powered . examples flash memory . read only memory.(F) ram.volatile memory is the computer memory that requires power to maintain stored information in other words it need power to reach the computer memory volatile memory retain the information as long as the power supply is on .
Memory that loses its contents when power is lost?
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the kind of memory that loses its content when the computer power is turned off.
What do computer models do?
Computers can model anything given sufficient time, processing power, and memory. Some common applications are weather forecasting (weekly as well as climate change), neural networks (how the brain is connected), and astrophysics.
What is computer memory all about and its function in a computer?
Volatile memory is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information. Non-volatile random-access memory that retains its information when power is turned off. There is random access memory, cache memory, read only memory, virtual memory and flash memory.
What Problems can the power on start test process can detect?
POST looks at fixed devices and cofigurations, pretty much anything that you can adjust in the BIOS e.g CPU, drive configuration, power supply, ports, memory, keyboard & mouse etc. , and finishes before the OS starts to load.
