tomp132000 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 My fiance's Dell mini 1012 came with 1gb of ram and was sluggish to I upgraded it with CORSAIR 2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Laptop Memory Model VS2GSDS667D2 Now, I can't get into windows, however. I got the "Windows is loading" screen but then the screen goes black (but the hard drive is still spinning". I tried booting Ubuntu off a live usb drive and the same thing happened: initial purple screen and then the screen goes black. I am, however, able to get into windows 7 starter using safe mode. The 2gb of RAM shows up correctly in bios and "system information" when I use Windows in safe mode. The laptop previously had 1gb of RAM. Thank you.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 24, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 24, 2011 I am sorry but that system is not listed on our memory configurator and as such we would not have any way to verify that system would support these modules, I would suggest you conatct the reseller and see if they will let you return them and purchase memory directly from the OEM for your system to ensure compatibility.

tomp132000 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Okay. I was just going off the advice provided in this post: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=87235 Does this seem like a problem with the integrated graphics? Could you recommend an alternate memory type? I really like corsair quality/price. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted February 25, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted February 25, 2011 If you have the memory and it is not working then I am sorry I would suggest using the memory that was suggested by the OEM. And please do not double post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
