Use a pen and paper, then open the PC case, take out all of the parts, write down all the text information on all of them and then you got exactly what you need to know for future reference, some utilities don't give you all the required serial numbers or volumes.

Don't forget to turn off the power at the point before opening the PC case.

You take out the ram sticks and read the label on each stick, make sure they have identical or similar numbers, might be 1/2 or 2/2 difference. Some Ram utilities someitmes give the wrong speed or volume, easier to just remove the ram and get the label numbers and manufacturer.

Don't forget to turn off the PSU rocker switch before you remove any hardware from inside the belly of the PC.
