Hey everyone! First post here 
I bought my Acer Aspire almost a year ago, and I have been absolutely in love with this laptop!
The other day I was messing around with the harddrives in it and for the first time, I noticed that there were actually 4 slots for ram. This blew my mind because this whole time I never even imagined a laptop would have 4 slots for memory. This thing continues to surprise me.
After making this discovery, I quickly went foraging for my spare two sticks of 2gb DDR3 Sodimm ram, and popped them in the extra slots. This is where the issue comes in.
When any more than two slots are used at a time, the laptop wont boot up. It turns on, the screen lights up(black), but the bios never starts or anything. If I take out the extra ram and only have two in, it starts just fine. I know that the slots arent damaged because I can put the two sticks of ram in any of the four slots and the laptop will start, but as soon as I add a third one, nothing.
I would love to get this solved because these two 2gb sticks are worth way more to me in processing power than they would be as a few bucks from ebay!
Hopefully someone around here has seen this before and knows how to fix it if possible!
Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply!
