1) Do your research and get the right RAM for your computer or motherboard.

2) Power down (shut down or turn off) your computer

3) Unplug your computer from the wall, and remove any battery that might provide power to the computer (like a laptop battery).

4) Ground yourself, touch a large piece of metal, or a grounding strip

5) Open the case of your computer

6) Ensure that you have the RAM installed in the right order and the right direction. The largest size sticks of RAM in the lowest numbered slots, these are typically nearest to your CPU

7) It is very disconcerting how hard you need to push the RAM to get it all the way in. Make sure that the RAM is all of the way installed, that you hear the RAM click into place.

8) Close the computer up, plug in and turn on. If you hear beeping, then something went wrong with the installation. If the computer boots up, then the installation was assumedly successful.
