[QUOTE="DracusNarcrym, post: 464667, member: 43812"] It might be the clock speed of the RAM you purchased. We can in no way be sure that 1600MHz is compatible with your motherboard. The factory RAM (4gb) is clocked at 532MHz (3 times less than the RAM you bought) which is rather suspicious. I'm afraid the the most possible issue is that the RAM you bought is meant for desktop PCs with motherboards which support that clock speed (90% of current desktop motherboards support 1600MHz in RAM clock speed). Although this might not be a definitive answer, I'm afraid that the RAM you purchased might be incompatible with your laptop (laptops are generally very hard to upgrade manually). You could try and tweak the memory speed and timing in the BIOS settings, but that can be very hard to communicate over a forum, I'm afraid, and would require a lot of trial and error. :/ [/QUOTE]
