Guys,
Anyone have any advice on this:
Bought some SO-DIMM laptop memory for my Vaio. Crucial and the Ebay vendor agreed that what I was buying (checking all the minor details) was compatible and was the accepted upgrade for my model (cost £26).
Existing = 2 x 256mb (512mb total)
New = 2 x 512mb (1024mb total)
The supported max for my machine according to all websites is 1024mb, so all good there.
Problem - Both 512mb sticks work individually, in either slot, and both will work in conjunction with one of my existing 256mb sticks (so 768mb total). But no matter what I do, I can't get both 512mb sticks to work together. I get a Trap 00000006 exception error after the Vaio screen.
Been into the BIOS and it recognises the 1024mb but I can't get the thing to boot.
This is me currenctly - :scratch:
Any ideas?
