any computer memory transferred to new hard disk?

[davedat]

I've got a new hard disk and i'm selling my computer. I'm wondering if there is any contents of other memory like ram transferred to the new hard disk from the computer when its installed

Please explain what you want to know a bit more please. Are you putting the new hard disk in the computer and then selling it?

I've put the new hard disk in my old computer but i'm wondering if any passwords or any bank details got tranferred from any ram or anything. I changed the hard disk as i was paranoid that i hadn't erased my personal details.

You had to shut the PC down and turn the power off before you installed the hard disk. (I hope!) When you shut down, let alone turn the power off, everything in the RAM is lost. For ever.

 I thought it might like when data is recovered after a sudden shutdown.

after it suddenly shuts down without you asking it to. then turn  back on and it recovers the data

 And the cmos battery wouldn't of saved ram?

Relax Dave, cmos holds setup configurations for your computer...ie: how it starts etc.

The "CMOS" (actually these days it's an EEPROM) memory on the motherboard is typically 512 bytes in size and is used to store the BIOS settings. That's it. Nothing else. davedat, you have been told repeatedly you have nothing to worry about.
