Okay folks...bit stumped by this...
I recently purchased an m11x with the default configuration of 2x1gb DD3 in it (who wants to pay $300 for memory?) and purchased 2x4 gb of Corsair DDR3-1066 memory to put in it.
Slap both of them in - 3 beeps on boot and no display (which I can assume would be related to memory)
I take the ram out of slot 1 and leave the ram in slot 0 - boots fine. I then flipped the dimms around (what was in slot 1 is now in slot 0) and it boots fine. I put the dimm back in slot 1 and it won't boot. I put both of the old dimms (1 gb) in and it boots fine.
Essentially slot 1 won't accept the 4 gb dimm but slot 0 works with it just fine. The device SHOULD be able to accept 8 gb fine and it doesn't appear to be a problem with either slot or either dimm. The only thing left I can think of would be bios related.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
