Hi, I am wanting to increase the performance of my laptop (HP550 Windows Vista) . It is currently running 1gb of ram and I want to upgrade to the max 4gb. The memory installed in the laptop now is 1gb DDR2 SDRAM, SODIMM memory slots. I have bought 2 2gb DDR2 memory sticks.
When I startup the laptop after installing the new memory sticks I get a blue screen stating windows fails to start-up. If I take out the new sticks and put back in the original 1gb stick windows loads up fine.
As far as I know I have bought the correct type or ram so just want your advice really why is this happening what can I do etc.
When I started the laptop after installing the new ram I was given 3 options, Save changes, ignore changes and Computer set-up. I chose save changes, is that correct?
Any help appreciated.
