Brief question: In Windows 7, Is there a log where I can see the ram memory of the system at different dates?
Explanation:
A friend of mine have detected some missing hardware (ram sticks) on some new computers, just after weeks of buying them. They need to know the exact date the ram stick was removed/changed, in order to check at the security cameras. But they do not know how to get that info, if it exists at all.
I have been trying to help him by looking for related info (although I do not use Windows so I am not familiar with it). I have found something called event manager, which store the logs on the system. But I was unable to find the specific hardware info. So, is there a way to know at least the ram detected by the operating system at several dates?
I have checked https://serverfault.com/questions/209505/windows-server-hardware-change-log , but they use windows server (my friend's office use a regular copy of windows 7, whose specific version I do not know)
Thanks in advance.

I wouldnt know, but there are some rare softwares that will store minor system specs on each run into thier own log (can include avail ram). There is the hardware "hash" by which the MS activation and licence system uses which could have changed (but not enough changes to require re-activation) There is the customer experience program sending out anon data on shedule, and memory diagnositcs which occur on shedule, IF any of that was on. soo one thing, Go through the "Task Schedule" items for clues to finding logs that may be useful, Search for *logs and weed though them for any clues. – Psycogeek – 2015-04-29T03:41:33.047
