Re: Ram Upgrade causes laptop to turn off?

Des

Doe the problem go away if you remove the new RAM?

What is the make and model of the motherboard? What are
the details of the old and new RAM

This freeware programme is excellent for getting information about your
computer:
Everest Home Edition (freeware)

Tip: To copy select Report, Quick Report, Plain Text, highlight required
text, right click and select copy. However, whilst this is fine for
posting small amounts of information into newsgroup messages
longer reports will irritate other newsgroup subscribers.

Hope this helps.
