Rbrundell Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I recently purchased 2 x VS2GSDS667DW modules for my laptop to upgrade from the mere 512MB module supplied. However, despite the fact that these modules are recommended as beign compatible, the PC will not boot up when either or both are installed. Installation has been done strictly in accordance with instructions, so is there some preparatory step that I need to take for the PC to recognise these new modules or is there the possibility that they are NOT compatible?

Rbrundell Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 a Compaq 6515b. According to Corsair's memory tester and HP themselves, these modules should work, but they simply won't and I can't believe they're both damaged. I was ultra careful in installing, no static, no cables plugged in etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
