I have an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54 and after installing a second stick of ram the laptop fails to post when I turn it on but after I hold the power button for 15 seconds and turn it on again it does post. The ram is seated properly and detected by my system. Is there any way to fix this. Or is it a bad sodimm slot?

    @OwenRogers check if the new stick has the same spec like 2666MHz, same rank as the original stick(1Rx16 or 1Rx8), or use CPU-Z if that new stick has XMP or not. XMP is not compatible with Nitro series and might cause some problem.
    Please remember to include @AnhEZ28 when you want to reply back to my comment so that I can check your response.
    Thank you and have a nice day!
