BSOD on New Laptop Ram Install.

[Deleted member 13033]

I had bought this in Jan 2013, running Win7, 32 bit, for my Lenovo Z560. Its suppose to be supporting 8GB
[font="'comic sans ms'"][color=rgb(0,0,0);]Corsair DDR3 4 GB Laptop RAM - [/color][/font]

[*]DDR3-1333/PC3-10600
[/list]
The laptop had existing ram of 2GB , clock speed: 1066 (Original Ram)
Now Without using the original Micron ram of 1066 with the New Corsair one the computer was never booted :
I just wanted to use the corsair one !
Using both Rams booted though there was always a screen showing all the time hardware changes...and all..

( have flashed BIOS, updated chipset driver...but nothing )

Now I upgraded to 64bit win7 Pro. so i could use full 6GB as with 32 bit it was limited to only 3GB !
Now the new ram ([color=rgb(0,0,0);font-family:'comic sans ms', cursive;]Corsair DDR3 4 GB, [/color][color=rgb(132,132,132);font-family:arial, tahoma, verdana, sans-serif;font-size:11.333333015441895px;]1333 [/color][SIZE=inherit] )[/SIZE][font="inherit;font-size:inherit;font-style:inherit;font-weight:inherit;"] is not at all working with old one Micron[/font]1066.
if I put both together I am getting BSOD. If its not BSOD its going in a loop of continuous restart or black screen.
Errors:
0x00000019 BAD_POOL_HEADER
Irql_not_less_or_equal



Its only booting with the Micron one.
There is no option in BIOS to change CPU speed ...Ram Clock speeds.... thanks to crappy Intel Mother Boards. BIOS is clearly showing 6 gigs of ram.
Now what do i do I am stuck with 2GB ram !
Have already run so many restarts ... :

You can't upgradepair a lower clock speed ram with a stock ram which has higher clock speed. But it works fine the other way. Since the bios is accepting the new RAM. Try installing ubuntu with the new ram, see if it goes smooth. If it doesn't the board & oem genuine win 32 is optimized to run with 1066 clock speed ram
You may better sell the corsair & buy a new one with 1066 clock speed.

hey thanks for the reply
stock 2GB ram which is micron had slower speed not higher speed of only 1066mhz.
I added with it the Corsair 4GB having 1333mhz, having higher speeds!.
win 7 home 32 bit (came, preinstalled) - It used full 2GB of micron and only 1GB of out of 4GB of Corsair.

Misread as 1600. Okay 1066 is old and boards with 1066 socket is built for a maximum of 1066 MHz support . So though the official spec say different it mostly won't support 1333 or higher clock speed. ( It might work in rare cases). It even won't downgrade if higher clock speed ram is installed.
What laptop do you have?

Ran Memtest86 on bootup last night only the new Corsair Ram, crashed it totally wouldn't run as soon as it started boom crashed !
Lenvo Z560, (20060) model.
i3 320M,
Ram Pre Installed: 3GB @1066mhz.
hdd: 500GB
dam rams are so expensive now and 4GB of 1066mhz is over Rs 2500 now Will see if i get Rs 1k for this ram then buy the new 1066 for Rs 1500.
Can't seem to even find the bill for this.
Have asked flipkart to send me a copy if that will work just incase the buyer asks for the bill?

3 GB is suffice for general tasks. Why do you wanna upgrade?

i might have thrown away the 1GB ram lol when i got this 4GB one since there were only 2 Slots and win32 was able to utilize 1GB of this Corsair and then 2GB of the old ram !
So currently me left with only 2GB ram lol out of which 700 mb to 1GB is easily used up by OS !

BTW, Corsair RAMs have life time10 yrs warranty, if the ram is not physically tampered. The life time warranty applies ...

 

[Deleted member 13033]

ya but i wonder if the ram is faulty? since it shows up fine in BIOS !
with win7 64 bit and at boot running memorytest86 its crashing both !
I will see if i reintall the 32 bit version since it was working with it.

It crashes mostly because of incompatibility. You may list it on olx in exchange for an external portable hdd, wireless combo kit or any other useful compenent or gadget that you currently don't have. Someone might turn up ...
