Ok so I've just recieved 2x 4GB SODIMM DDR3 1333Mhz (204pin) from Amazon, (The specs I double checked by reading the Lenovo forum and the manual before purchasing. Although the motherboard uses 1066mhz, it apperently has no issues running 1333mhz ram.
So I take out the old default 2gb stick and put in my new RAM. Low and behold I am welcomed by a black screen. I remove my new RAM sticks (2x 4gb) and try each stick individually to see if they may be faulty. Again no luck, I'm once again greeted by a black screen. So I take my new RAM out and put the old standard 2gb stick in once again and all is working 100%.
I can assure that the RAM was correctly inserted into the slot(s), and that by testing my new RAM individually that they're not likely damaged. I can only assume my new RAM is incompatible with my notebook!
Here is the ram: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Komputerbay-SODIMM-1333Mhz-Laptop-Memory/dp/B0031GK3OI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qi...
Can somebody please assist me here, I'm going nuts trying to figure this out. I've got many threads on this forum confirming that the RAM specs I chose should be compatible. Please somebody point out the error in my ways.
