You cannot do so. The basic reason is Ram acts as a temporary storage device to store your operating system and other essentials. Where as hard disk is slower and cannot be used for same to process.
The computer most likely will not boot,RAM is how data gets from point a to point b, if theres no highway for data to travel(RAM) how can the computer boot?
Actually By Default this is present in BIOS(ROM) and at the boot time Operating System loads it to the RAM.
basic input output system BIOS needed for a computer to find the input and output devices which are connected to it... such as ram keyboard mouse speaker system monitor etc etc... the bios serves as instruction on what to do after the processor is turned on. Such as access the hard drive for a boot, and many other things. Without a bios, the processor would not know what to do.
BIOS Is the program to boot the computer and load the OS Into the computer's RAM.
To test a newly installed RAM chip, first, boot the computer and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings to ensure the system recognizes the new memory. Next, run a memory diagnostic tool like Memtest86 or Windows Memory Diagnostic to check for errors or stability issues. Monitor the system for any unexpected crashes or performance problems during regular use, as these can indicate potential issues with the RAM.
this can b a problem of ram
BIOS is software. It tells system software how to communicate with installed hardware. ROM is hardware. It stores a copy of the BIOS, and automatically loads its contents into RAM (the BIOS) when power is first applied to the system. Thus, while the two are related, they are not the same.
The first place would be the ROM BIOS. Then the BIOS checks your storage devices and tries to load the boot area from the first available one it finds, and the boot sector then starts the operating system.
Based on experience, I think it will do one of the following two things: - Not boot up while the out of specification RAM was installed. - Boot up, but only recognize the maximum ram the mother board specifies
The most thorough way of testing your RAM would be using a boot-up memory test (unless your computer has a built-in RAM test in its BIOS, which can be accessed by pushing F1 or F2 when the computer first turns on). Here's a link to an iso image you can burn to a CD. After burning it, you would boot the computer from the CD. If it doesn't boot from the CD, you might need to change your boot order from the bios. Set the CD drive as the primary boot location and if it still isn't booting from the CD, you may not have burned it correctly. http://www.memtest86.com/download.HTML
PRAM (permanent RAM )
Use Memtest86+, you have to boot it from bios. It's used by many Overclockers to check ram stablitity and consistency, while changing timings and volts.
