    Question Laptop wont boot after RAM upgrade... But can use one new RAM chip with one old one

    Thanks, I've had good luck with that scanner in the past, although right now it's recommending 3200Mhz ram that I'm guessing can downclock to 2400, but that's exactly what I have now which is giving me so many problems.
