Help please!! really worried added the wrong ram

[MohitArora]

So basically I just got a new toshiba laptop with 4gb of ram. I had a 2gb ram from my old laptop which i added to the empty slot. However, the laptop did not boot or even turn on ..just a light on the powerbutton .. I think the two sticks were incompatible somehow due to different clock speed, voltage could be anything . maybe i touched the ram with static idk. Also, when i removed the 2gb ram, the laptop turned on fine with the ram it came with (4gb). now i am worried should i return the laptop? have i caused any damage to the motherboard ? or anything would up over time now? or just a memory failure?

i think the 2gb ram i added was of higher voltage thats why there was a failure. have a caused any damage to the motherboard u guys think ..the laptop turns on fine for now i guess i am just OCD . Please any help will be appreciated

You should be fine don't worry.

u think i stressed the motherboard a lot?

Don't fix something that isn't broken. If it works with the 4GB then it's fine. No reason to stress.

hey thank you very much for replying. Actually i just got this computer yesterday and i can still return it, thats why i was just wondering if i have reduced the life of the mobo or the processor in any way by adding two incompatible ram sticks clocked at different speeds. I hope not because the computer failed to start with two sticks in. what do you say? thank you again

If you REALLY want to upgrade the RAM in it, then just get 2x4GB sticks.

That's what I got for my laptop and I've had no issues with it.
