We’ve also noticed a lot of complaints from our readers on this and similar issues like not enough physical memory in VMware. So, this guide will examine the likely causes and solutions.

Why do I encounter no physical memory available at the location required?

The following are some of the reasons why you’re experiencing no physical memory available at the location required:

Hard drive failure – If the hard drive has been recently damaged, your system won’t be able to boot up. Also, Windows may refuse to boot with the second hard drive if that’s what you are using. Corrupted modules – If the memory modules on your computer are not fitted properly, the system might not boot up. Damaged CMOS battery – CMOS batteries have about 4 – 5 years’ lifespans. If they’re way past their valid life cycle, it might be the reason you’re experiencing this error. BIOS error – You might have accidentally triggered an error if you’ve recently changed the configuration settings of your BIOS. This may also cause Windows to skip BIOS.

Irrespective of the causes, any of the solutions below should fix it.

What can I do if there’s no physical memory at the location required?

Troubleshooting is the only way to resolve system errors. However, users should ensure that they’ve performed the following preliminary checks:

If you’ve experience handling disk drives, open up the system unit to check if the hard drives and memory modules are tightly fitted. Sometimes, hard disks can be slightly displaced when they experience forceful external contact.  You can also try narrowing down the problems by inserting your current hard disk into another working computer. This will help you determine if the fault is from the hard disk or your system.

Here are a couple of things you can do to help you resolve this error. SPONSORED
