Dell L501X/Win10 won't boot after upgrading RAM

[YGFG01]

Hi all,

I'm trying to upgrade the RAM on my Dell L501X Win10 from 2x2gb to 2x4gb. I'll get to the Windows 10 loading screen but then it'll go to the "Your PC has ran into a problem" screen and shut down. When I put the old RAM back in it boots up fine besides having to reinstall the drivers for the graphics cards to get the screen backlight to come back on.

I've tried installing each of the 4gb sticks individually in both slots with the same results.

If anyone has any advice on what to try it would be greatly appreciated.

BIOS: A08
MOBO: Intel HM57
CPU: i5-460M
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 420M
Original RAM: 2x2gb Hynix hmt325s6bfr8c-h9 (PC-10600)
RAM I've tried:
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3L 1600MHz CL9 1.35v

The RAM you bought may be bad, Have you tried it in another computer?
