So im trying to upgrade my sisters laptop(presario c500) from 2x512 to 2x1gb ddr2 sodimm.
Im going from brand adata to samsaung chips.
Installed, popped in fine, bios shows memory, memory test shows memory is fine, but it will not boot into vista.
It will boot into safe mode just fine, just not vista.
When it loads into vista, It usually gets as far as into where have to log in, then t gives me checkered boxes or lines (usually what you get when your dimms are loose etc)
I've tryed using the dimms on my laptop and it works just fine.
what the hell am i doing wrong?
I've exhausted all ideas and now im running a harddrive check (only thing i could think of left to do)
