question 55 of 57
after installing a new ram module, you boot your 64 - bit system, but the display remains blank. what is the most likely cause of this issue?
the registry is configured to write to faulty sectors of ram
you have installed a non - parity ram on an ecc system
the post failed to recognize the new memory
you have installed a 32 - bit memory module.

Explanation:

1. Registry to faulty sectors: A registry issue related to faulty RAM sectors is not the most common cause of a blank - screen after RAM installation. The registry is more related to software - level configurations and not an immediate cause of a display issue post - RAM install.
2. Non - parity RAM on ECC system: Installing non - parity RAM on an ECC (Error - Correcting Code) system can cause issues, but it usually results in error messages rather than a completely blank screen right after boot.
3. POST failed to recognize new memory: When the Power - On Self - Test (POST) fails to recognize the new memory module, it can lead to a system boot issue where the display remains blank. This is a very likely scenario as the system cannot properly initialize with unrecognized memory.
4. 32 - bit memory module: Installing a 32 - bit memory module in a 64 - bit system is not a valid cause for a blank screen. A 32 - bit memory module can be used in a 64 - bit system, and it will not prevent the system from booting to a display.

Answer:

C. The POST failed to recognize the new memory.
