Upgrade notebook to 4gb, memtest fails test #7

[MrX8503]

I'm not sure if i'm doing this wrong or not, but when I test my 2x2gb ram in my notebook on default settings of Memtest, there were no errors.

But when I changed the settings of memtest to address all memory, it fails test #7 every time. Am I supposed to be testing under default settings, or change the setting in menu #2 to address all ram?

So anyone know whats up with my errors?

I retested memtest on default settings overnight and it passed with no errors. But I still have the errors when I address all memory.

Give us some info. Make and model? RAM from factory, or did you install this yourself? 32 or 64bit OS? What is the OS?

You should be fine. It's the "default" setting that's the correct one.

Ram is A-DATA 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Notebook Memory

I did a self install on my dell 1520, Windows Vista Home Basic, 32-bit.

You should be fine. It's the "default" setting that's the correct one.

I hope your right. If so, that would save me the time to send it back.

Can anyone verify this?
