How do you clean primary memory after long PC hours?

This stores the data which tells the computer how to load the operating system when it is switched off or rebooted?
ROM ROM is an acronym for Read Only Memory. The advantage of ROM is that its contents do not evaporate when the power is switched off. Therefore the program which needs to execute when the computer is first switched on is stored in a ROM chip on the computer's motherboard. Once the program stored in the ROM chip has finished initialising the hardware, it moves the head of the hard disk to track 0, reads the first sector of track 0 into memory, and then passes control to the short program stored in the first sector of the hard disk. To simplify a bit, it is the responsibility of that program to locate the operating system files on disk, and then begin the process of loading them. hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllo
What functions does RAM peform in a computer?
RAM stores information for actively running programs so that data can be accessed and used rapidly. Contrast it to the hard drive where it has to physically write and read every bit of information, which would be far too slow to use for RAM.

When you run a program where does it reside while you are running it?
When a program is run, it resides in the computer's memory, specifically in RAM (Random Access Memory). The operating system loads the program's executable file into RAM, where it can be accessed and executed by the CPU. During execution, the program may also utilize other memory areas for temporary data storage, such as the stack and heap. Once the program finishes running, its data is typically cleared from RAM.
Why is ram called volatile memory and rom called non volatile memory?
RAM is considered volatile memory because it loses data rapidly and has to be constantly refreshed. It also losses all its data once it loses power. Refference: Comptia A+ Seventh edition
What is 4G RAM in computer?
Random access Memory is a memory which helps open programs in the computer to run properly this memory is removed once all of the computer is turned of you can add more RAM to make your computer faster to open programs if your computer has all the RAM in use you cannot open any more. Like you said an average computer has 4-6 GB of ram
What type of storage is ram memory?
It's so called random access memory. RAM is by itself a type of memory. Ram is a type of memory architecture that allows data to be stored temporarily as long as an electric current is supplied. As soon as power is lost, the content of the memory module is lost.
How do you reset the computer once the problem is fixed with the check engine light?
Either try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes or have vehicle scanned and codes cleared
