BSOD on New Laptop Ram Install.

[Deleted member 13033]

yup lets see lol
Though Intel and both Lenovo S**k big time for letting a customer buy something which is most likely not supported by their hardware and wasting tremendous amount of time later to troubleshoot the dam thing !

Before listing, check it in any other laptop to confirm if the ram is faulty. So that if it's faulty you may go for a replacement. I reckon the 1066 board is culprit, because have handled such issues on my friend's laptop. I wonder why do oems still sell old 1066 boards. Maybe because of pile-up stocks or cost cutting measure by buyers

they even sold me off win home basic the dam 32 bit edition for about 4k more than the non OS version. I changed it to 64 bit pro only so i could put in more RAM. Didn't know back then all these dam limitations and Lenovo and Windows ripping me !
Laptop is of extreme good quality though.

They will give you a new stick as replacement. RAMs can't be fixed.

FWIW, Corsair do not have an India Op, their service guys here are Kaizen Infoserve. From what i've heard nowadays, their service leaves a bit to be deserved. If you are really having trouble, it wouldnt hurt to post on forum.corsair.com and hope Redbeard/RAM GUY or George read it, and then they'll take good care of your RMA request.

Never mix two different RAM, avoid using different clock RAM, and using a RAM clocked at more than your MB specs is always going to fail.
I wonder what you were doing in Jan when you could have returned it within a month?

was working fine with 32 bit win7 home basic that time.
Recently upgraded to win 7 64 bit, weirdly its not working anymore separately or with the stock ram (1066mhz, Micron).
System only boots up with the micron one, with corsair its just BSOD.
Spoke to Lenovo, according to them 1333mhz ram is supported.
