Hi Guys,
I'm trying to upgrade this aging laptop and it has two ram slots which had 2x 1gb DDR2 Sodimm 667mhz and I bought 2x 2gb DDR2 Sodimm 800mhz ram equalling the 4gb and faster clock speed.
The problem is that it is stuck on a boot loop with the following combinations...
Combo 1
Slot 1: 2gb
Slot 2: 2gb
Swap them round it's the same
Combo 2
Slot 1: 2gb
Slot 2: 1gb
Though it works with these combinations...
Combo 3
Slot 1: 1gb
Slot 2: 2gb
And the original 1gb + 1gb
Really strange how it would accept 3gb but only when 1gb goes in first.
Also the 4gb is detected by the bios but won't boot windows 10, not even a fresh clean install, it just crashes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Tom
