When you turn your computer off, Is the RAM cleared each time OR should I clear it manually?

Question

DESKTOP RAM

Answer 1

When you power your PC down (Or mac) it is shutting down all resources and clearing any cache used (or ram) for programs. So it is automatically clearing out anything in memory (RAM). But you're probably asking this for another reason - is your PC running slow? Perhaps you have a worm or a virus, try running an anti-virus or spyware program to speed it up.

Answer 2

The physical RAM is automatically cleared but the virtual memory (pagefile.sys) can be configured to be cleared before shutdown so that the booting is faster. However, the shutdowns will get slower.
There are some memory management softwares that free up your RAM automatically, either periodically or manually or when it's much occupied.

RAM itself is temporary memory, so it is lost completely. but there is a clever way to save RAM as well. this is called hibernation. your computer saves temporary memory onto your harddisk and close down.
