- Low main memory ([**RAM**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50563/how-to-fix-instagram-that-keeps-crashing-or-not-working-stable-on-your-iphone-8)), corrupted system files, insufficient cache memory, Virus, System failure, or some Applications can cause Android **mobile phones to hang or automatically power off / reboot** (bootloop) or become stuck on the logo or boot screen during startup .**Low memory, system failure, or application crashes are the most common causes.**
- Switching between numerous apps, playing graphic-intensive games (after 1 or 2 hours), visiting the internet on the default browser using WiFi or mobile data, watching high-resolution movies, recording videos, and so on are all common uses for phones with limited RAM. Although RAM is not the only factor that affects performance, a poorly maintained software and a large operating system also have an adverse effect on the phone's performance.
