| 772285 | 2009-05-08 13:25:00 | I've finally got around to upgrading from 1gig to 3gig ram. Installed it tonight and computer wont boot immediately after turning on, the lights on laptop come on etc but nothing shows on screen... If i take the new 2gig ram out it boots fine... am I missing something out here? Wore antistatic while installing so yeah :) Laptop is running Vista, with 1gig ram, but want to change it to 3gig. |

| 772288 | 2009-05-08 22:28:00 | Are they exact same specs? | the_bogan (9949) | ||
| 772289 | 2009-05-08 22:35:00 | I dunno, What i did was contact Ramking and told them i wanted ram etc and i didnt know the specs etc, they gave me an program to run and tells you the specs, so I did that then told them and they said ok, you need this ram, so I brought what they recommended.... |

| 772290 | 2009-05-08 22:35:00 | Some laptops will only work with 1 or 2 gigs maximum, check it out on the manufacturers website. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 772291 | 2009-05-09 00:24:00 | I was told mine could go up to 4gig of ram, but since I already had 1gig i thought 3gig would be more than enough rather than buying 2x 2gig... computer is speedy now with 2gig, so maybe will leave it..if its a matter of parts not matching...but if its a different fault thats stopping it then I want to fix it... Is there anything I can do to show u settings etc? |

| 772292 | 2009-05-09 00:36:00 | Whats the brand/model of the laptop? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 772293 | 2009-05-09 04:19:00 | Could possibly be the timings incompatible. What Clock speed RAM is it? Blam |
