I bought a 4gb stick for my Asus K52JC and, although didn't seem to have any problems during 32 bit mode, made my PC absolutely unbootable after I moved to 64 bit since I had 6gb in total. I did get a BSOD though after heavy usage maybe because the PC actually started using the new part of memory.
After tinkering a bit, trying to determine what was wrong, I opted to go back to the store and get a replacement since the 4gb stick alone wouldn't even POST and crashed at the windows logo together with my old 2gb. They said I should go back tomorrow and they'll restock on the stuff I need. The one I originally bought was a Kingston 4GB 1333 and they got another Kingston 1333 and an Apacer 4GB 1333 also.
After trying all those 3 new RAMs on my laptop, NONE OF THEM WORKED! But my old ram happily booted in between tests. This was on all memory slots.
My old ram (the one that came out of the box) is a Kingston 2GB 1333 and the laptop needs 1066.
My question is why the hell wouldn't any of these ram work? I went home from the store beaten and got replacement items I didn't really want. They couldn't possibly be all dead.
