The following is a summary of the boot process in a PC except
Allocating and assigning system resources

The PC performs a power-on self-test (POST).
The BIOS attempts to access the first sector of the drive designated as the boot disk.
The following is a summary of the boot process in a PC
Once the boot loader is in memory, the BIOS hands over its work to the boot loader, which in turn begins loading the operating system into memory.
Proceed by removing the memory module placed in the motherboard. Gently push back the tabs on the end of the module. Other modules automatically lift slightly upon pushing back the tabs and some do not. Carefully grab the edges of the memory module and place it in a clean area.
