TravelMate 4670 Memory Upgrade Problem

I purchased two 2GB PC2-5300 667mhz modules for my TravelMate 4670 and I'm experiencing a very odd issue. The documentation that I can find suggests that the maximum supported memory is 4GB (2GB per slot). When both 2GB modules are installed together, the laptop will not boot. It powers on with a blank screen and the CPU fan runs momentarily, then stops. When either of the new 2GB modules are installed with either of the original 512MB modules, the laptop boots fine and registers 2.5GB of memory. I've considered upgrading the BIOS, but the ACER website displays 'Service not available' when I try to navigate to the TravelMate 4670's driver page. If anybody has experienced this before, I'd appreciate any insight that you can offer me.

 

Thank you,
