Hello,

I've got a Acer Aspire 5633 with 2X 512mb PC2-4200 so I decided I needed some more ram so I bought 1x 2Gb PC2-5300 (Crucial live support said it would be fine)

I received my ram today and tried it out but I'm having some problems it boots fine but wont load Vista it displays the "Microsoft Corporation" logo faded and doesn't go any further.

I tried putting my Vista disc in and doing a format or repair but it BSOD's

I've tried the ram in both slots and tried it with one 512mb in as well


Any Ideas or should I send it back?
 
No I selected 5630 range.. I then used the live support.

I used to have 2X512mb PC2-4200

Hello, my name is Adam . How may I help you?
Steven Brown: Hi, I was wondering if PC2 5300 will work in my Acer Aspire 5633 laptop
Adam : Yes - PC2-5300 Sodimms will work fine in your 5633 Aspire - if you remove any current memory and just install this speed, they will run at the 667Mhz speed
 
i'd return the crucial sticks you've got. im just trying to see whether your laptop takes PC5300 etc and 2GB DDR2.
EDIT: seems as thought it takes Upto 4GB and PC5300 (667Mhz) DDR2, so im abit stumped while the crucial stuff didnt work :confused:
best bet is to try some samsung memory.
 
It says RamSia

Postman came today and I seen two envelopes on the floor, picked them up and realized that it was my ram in an unprotected envelope and I thought it must be broke.
 
RamSia :confused: never heard of them mate, i assume they were nice and cheap? either way its only £20-30 for 2x1GB sticks of PC5300 So Dimm. i'd maybe try getting a more known brand perhaps.
EDIT: also the fact it wasnt in an anti-static bag is maybe a concern too.
