If a computer has 0 Ram...hypathetically?

Question

If your computer does not have RAM, what types of files will you be unable to open, and why?

To me the answer would be obvious- if there is no Ram, you would not be able to maneuvor to open anything, but that is why I am asking you all:)

Thank you very much!

Is there a site I can reference this question

Answer 1

If the pc has no ram then it won't boot at all. So no operating system will be loaded and no files will be opened.

When a pc boots up it first loads the program stored in BIOS. The BIOS then loads into memory whatever program is residing in the first sector of the boot device, called the Master Boot Record or MBR. The MBR is only 512 bytes in size and contains machine code instructions for booting the machine, called a boot loader, along with the partition table. Once the BIOS finds and loads the boot loader program into memory, it yields control of the boot process to it.

If no memory is found the machine will not be able to continue the boot process.

Ram eight gb nine.five vigour deliver 700w nine 500gb+1000gb hardrive nine.eight win 7 residence eight nvidia gtx260 7.five intel middle two quad 6600 overclocked to two.9ghz 7.five cpu cooler 6.eight Overall eight.five If you desire to improve anythin except rebuildin a computer, you'll best upload a greater image card or difference the cooler, on the grounds that first of all there is not any factor exchanging ram as 8gb is far more than wanted. secondly a million.5gb of hardrive could also be far more than wanted, thirdly you wont be ready to difference new cpu as ur motherboard has a socket 775. If you could love to get a image card.....and in case you have the money I could advocate a nvidia gtx 590......currents first-rate image card on the planet :D.....If you select amd you'll get the amd radeon hd 6990 nonetheless amd have alot of disorders with drivers :( so i could advocate the nvidia gtx 590 :)!

Answer 3

Most modern BIOS won't even allow you to boot the computer without any RAM at all. If you were super clever, I suppose you could figure out how to bypass that and get the whole thing to run on virtual RAM. Not a good idea, though.

Answer 4

Without RAM your computer wouldn't even be able to boot up let alone open any files. Computers need ram to function.

Answer 5

The computer won't even boot up without RAM....
i.e. You don't have a chance to think about opening a file.

Answer 6

Hi. Do a search on "640KB". Bill Gates may or may not have said this, but I think without at LEAST this much your machine will not know how to communicate with the keyboard. My original computer, a Timex-Sinclair 1000, had only 2K internal (16K with the external memory module). Again, 0K would not work.

Answer 7

. Hypothetically = Any file that does not open and execute within itself. It is not independant Dependant programs must be loaded into memory for mutual cross access of files ( running two or more dependant programs at once)

Answer 8

Well I don't think it's possible to run a modern day operating system without ram..

Although you CAN run many old programs from the pre-dos/dos era.

Answer 9

without RAM you can't load the operating system, so you can just sit and stare at a blank screen.

Answer 10

Simple

NO RAM = NO COMPUTER
