    Why did you remove 2 GB of RAM?

    Windows will run on 2 GB or even less, but it might struggle, depending on what you are doing.

    And we have no idea what the rest of your system specs are. Maybe you have a puny Inspiron.

    Put the other 2 GB of RAM back in it and see if things improve.

    You could have other things going on that are eating up RAM, but my first idea would be to go to 4 GB.

    no sir why i removed the ram because,when os startup my screen began to flicker & it became worse.suddenly my lap was shut down,no powering up.i send it to repair shop.they said screen is damaged cause by circuit failure of the ram.so they replaced the display & said never use that damaged 2gb ram.that's the reason :)

    What CPU do you have?

    Are you willing to buy more RAM?

    I assume you don't have the old RAM stick. Did you test it yourself?

    Have you looked in Task Manager?

    Good luck; I asked several questions that you decided not to answer.

    If you had no problems while using 4gb of ram, adding 2gb of new ram should work fine. I would suggest buying a reputable brand of ram; Crucial is a good source.
