Amazing timing for a post. I'm pretty shocked by the coincidence! :) I did the exact same process (also via crucial then searching the web for cheaper) then watching youtube videos on how to replace my RAM then unfortunately the new RAM did not work :O . I had to revert back to my old RAM. Well i'll try that again next weekened ... but yes the process was exactly as explained! and it was surprisingly easy for me non-hardware guy, great explanation, thanks for the confirmation I went through the right steps ;))

Great minds think alike, eh? :D

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. I wonder why it didn't work. Best of luck on your next try! If it doesn't work, come back to this thread. I'm sure someone would be able to help figure out what the problem is! Fingers crossed it works out šŸ¤žšŸ¾

There are a lot of technicalities that can apply. DO you have multiple slots for memory? Generally, they have to be filled in pairs and there is an order you need to follow as to which of the two slots in a pair is filled first. Consult the manual for your motherboard to get the facts.
