Update RAM, now getting blue error screen

dayslug24 · #1 Jan 29, 2007, 09:15 AM

I have a Vaio FRV37 laptop which is expandable to 1G. ram.
( originally 512MB/ 2-256 pc 2100 cards.)
I added 2- 512 cards and comp. gives blue error screen just after boot up.
I then took out (1) 512 strip and put back a 256 strip, now leaving one strip 512mb, and the other strip 256mb, and comp. works fine.
Anyone have a guess on what I need to do to make both 512mb strips work ?
thanks!

I did the swap test as you recommended, and think i found the prob.
switching what was already in the slots made no difference, (comp. also recognized both cards ok.) but when I swapped the 512mb card with the other 512mb card, I got the blue screen.
Im guessing that one of my 512 cards is broken?

That stinks.
Thanks for the help, though!
