RAM PROBLEM WITH FZ11S

[notever]

My laptop is running Win 7 but has started to go to the blue screen on start up. I have run some scans and all hardware shows as fine. I have 2gb of memory in 2 x 1gb slots, when I remove one of the modules the laptop runs fine. I swapped over the modules and when they are both in I get the blue screen but when only one is used the laptop boots up ok. Both modules run in the slot that works so I guess I have a fault on one of the memory slots. The question is can I put in a 2gb (maybe even 4gb) module in the working slot as the laptop is slow running on just 1gb of memory? 

Thanks Paul

Hi Paul and welcome to the community,

It does sound like one of your memory slots could be faulty.

I have checked and the max. memory configuration for your model is 2x1GB=2GB.

Hi @notever and Welcome!

Unfortunately you beat me to it Cass

Just wanted to add that if any members need help with details of what Ram they have installed and what they can install, then Crucial.com is one of the best places to go.

(Several Experts on this forum have used them before )

Thanks Cass, but can I put a 2gb module in one slot and run on that one slot?

Cheers

I'm not 100% sure... can you help @jumpsuit?

Hi again

No sadly not. 

The maximum  is 1GB per slot so adding a single 2GB won't work in it

as the slot can only read / utilise 1GB.

Thats sad, laptop is running so slow its probably not worth keeping. Grateful for all your help.
