Lenovo Y560 (0646) RAM upgrade - which one works is compatible

[lazotrip]

Yes, but it also says only: standard RAM (2 x 4GB (DDR3)) and no further details are specified.

My RAM of Corsair is standard RAM 1333MHz and works for a few minutes and then continuosly a blue screen appears.

Currently a 2GB 1333MHz of RAMAXEL is running in my notebook. So it shouldn't be a problem about the 1333MHz.

Any idea?

try kingston.
( check kingston.com for compatible rams)

[lazotrip]

Ok I will try it.

But can you tell me if this one with 1066 MHz will also work?

4GB Kingston ValueRAM DDR3-1066 CL7 (7-7-7-20) RAM SO-DIMM

The only difference is that it is Kingston Value RAM (and its cheaper).

According to Kingston compatibility those fit to Y560 Lenovo:

KTL-TP1066/4G (1066 MHz)

KTL-TP3B/4G (1333MHz)

I would prefer the 1066 MHz

I have lenovo  Ideapad Y560-59-040352 Core i5 with 4 GB of RAM with Windows 7 Home preimum

I want to go for RAM upgrade from 4 GB to 8 GB

I am able to get 1066 DDR 3 Laptop RAM in market. 

I am going for extended support for my laptop as 1 year is about to complete after purchase.

My question is this can I add RAM to my laptop myself or I need to give it to service center guys.

Secondly adding RAM by myself with will hamper warranty of laptop or not.

How can I know is there single 4 GB present or 2+2 GB combination without opening the panel.

Kindly suggest

Thanks in advance

2. Secondly adding RAM by myself with will hamper warranty of laptop or not.
