Question Every new ram I install stops my laptop from powering on

[ACEofBASS420]

I have a Toshiba satellite C50D-B- 00k laptop and when I install new ram and reset CMOS by the jcmos (the little copper thing below ram chip 2 slot that says jcmos) but my laptop still won't power on, it just turns off after 2 seconds. But for some reason every time I put my old ram back in it works again. And it's not the ram that's damaged because iv bought 2 sets and tried both and neither want to let my laptop power on. I tried everything even cleaning inside. Please help?

I switch from 1 4gb Samsung ddr3 pc3l 1.5ghz to 2 Hynix 4gb ddr3 pc3 unknown speed. Forgot to check it before installing. I'm running Windows 10 pro

Your system calls for DDR3L 1600MHZ. Check to see if this is what your installed.

My old one was pc3l. The new one is just pc3

What is the entire listing?

Yes pc3l is low voltage memory, you are trying to put in regular voltage memory. Pc3l is 1.35v and pc3 is 1.50 volts.

Go to a ram web site like kingston or crucial and access their ram upgrade app.
enter the make/model of your laptop and you will get a list of compatible ram upgrades.

Alternatively, run cpu-Z which will identify the specs of your current ram.
Pick a kit that matches as to speed, voltage and timings.
