Do not try to remove a memory module with the computer turned on.
You can damage the computer and the memory module.
Do not remove the memory module while the computer is in Sleep or
Hibernation mode. The computer could hang up the next time you
turn it on and data in memory will be lost. In either of the above
cases, the Sleep configuration will not be saved.
The following screen may appear when you turn on the power:
If “Start Windows
®
Normally” is highlighted, then press Enter.
If one of the Safe Mode options is highlighted, it is best to press
Enter to go into Safe Mode, then shut down and restart the system, at
which time Windows
®
should boot back up normally.
When Safe Mode is suggested, this could be a sign that you may
need to scan your internal storage drive for errors or defragment the
drive. If so, consult Windows
®
Help and Support.

out of the slot.
