Hello,
I'm looking for some assistance with this one, because I'm at my wits end.
Since I'm a gamer and use my computer rather frequently, I was looking to upgrade the amount of memory in my PC.
The motherboard on my laptop has 4 different memory slots, and I was told that the maximum that it would support would be 16 Gb.
I went to NewEgg.com and purchased 4 sticks of G.Skill Ripjaws PC3L-12800 4GX2 (DDR3L-1600) 1.35V SO-DIMM to place into the machine.
After placing all 4 sticks into the different memory slots, the machine would refuse to start. The only way that the machine starts is if I use one slot on the left, and one slot on the right. The combination doesn't make a difference, but when I try and place a third stick in any slots, it will refuse to boot up.
All of the memory sticks are the same. I have no idea why this won't work. Initially I assumed that this was due to the machine only supporting sticks at 1.5V, yet it works perfectly fine with two of the sticks, which are 1.35V. I've tried all different combinations, as well as each slot independently. Each slot, when used independently with no other sticks, works just fine.
I'd REALLY rather not try and send this in to Acer, since not only is my machine barely out of warranty, but I use it for work, and couldn't be without it for a month and a half while this gets resolved.
Help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
