I have an Acer Aspire E1-572 and just purchased a Kingston KVR13S9S8/4 (1333Mhz/1.5V) to upgrade it to 8GB RAM but the system doesn't detect the new memory.
Running "# dmidecode -t 17" I got this for the RAM shipped with the laptop:

Hi,
It could be a wrong type of RAM, you should have bought a DDR3L type RAM and not DDR3. Try returning it and get 1.35v memory, like in this link:
