Did your test but without success and still the same problem. The new memory is visible in the BIOS set-up and the computer works fine when I put back the old memory.

Is there any Windows settings to change memory speed?

Aspire 5742 memory upgrade problem

Cobra — Tue, 12 Aug 2014 17:47:57 GMT

I have an Acer Aspire 5742-374G50 with 4GB (2+2GB) memory and try to upgrade to 8GB (4+4GB). Have bought Corsair memory type ”Value Select” CMSO4GX3M1A1333C9 but it won’t start and goes directly to ”Windows recovery” mode.

The new memory size (8192MB) is listed in the Start-up menu (F2) but I can’t find any way to change the memory settings. Latest version of the BIOS installed (V1.30).

Corsair memory info: DDR3 SODIMM, 1,5Volt, SPD speed 1333MHz, Speed rating PC3-10600 (1333MHz).

Is the problem related to the 1333MHz speed, in that case how can I change the computer settings to get them accepted? Or what can I do?
