Hi
I have an msi gx660R-474uk laptop and recently tried to upgrade the memory.
I bought 8gb (2x4gb) of Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz
It currently has 6gb 1333mhz memory
I thought the memory would just clock down to the required speed
When I installed the ram it immediately blue screened, I tried changing some of the memory settings in the bios (I have the modded/unlocked bios) but no luck.
I managed to get it to recognise the memory in bios but only by using one of the old sticks with one of the new sticks as well. Im not sure if this would have booted into windows as all the ram changes seemed to have broken windows and again it just blue screened.
luckily it was a fresh install which I have now reinstalled
anyone else had any issues installing ram in this laptop?
could it be it just isn't compatible with that memory speed?
thanks guys
