I am trying to upgrade my laptop's memory from 4 to 8 GB but nothing seems to work.
I read EVERYWHERE that the memory should be 2 identical SO-DIMM modules with the same size and the same voltage, speed and timing but the memory that was originally installed is 1x 1600 mHz and 1 x 1333 mHz ... with different timing and from different manufacturers.
I tried every possible configuration but when running Memtest the system crashes every time when it reaches above 4096 M ... so 4GB ... which leads me to believe that is the maximum amount of memory which is supported although the manual says it should be 8GB.
I've ugraded the BIOS which doesn't help and the advice I found that it should be 'low density' doesn't hold since the original modules are normal density too.
Does anyone have an answer ? This is getting reaaaaally annoying
