I am upgrading a Lenovo PC I bought from Tigerdirect a few years ago... not sure which model, but it looks like the H520 albeit an older model. I do know the motherboard and other hardware info.
Motherboard: Lenovo CIH55CV
Chipset: Intel Havendale/Clarkdale Host Bridge Rev 18
Southbridge: Intel H55 Rev 06
BIOS version D6KT15A
The RAM that was installed was 2x Sharetronic 2Gb, DDR3 1333, PC3-10666, 9-9-9-24. Additional info that I've gotten from RAMMon:
tCK: 1.500
tAA: 13.125
tRCD: 13.125
tRP: 13.125
tRAS: 36.000
tRRD: 6.000
tRC: 49.125
tRFC: 110.00
I am trying to install 8Gb of:
ADATA AD3U1333C4G9-DRH Premier Series Desktop Memory Kit - 8GB (2x 4GB), PC3-10600, DDR3-1333MHz, 240-pin DIMM, CL9, 1.5V, Non-ECC, Unbuffered
The issue I'm having is that the computer freezes at the Lenovo splash screen where it says press F1 for BIOS, F12 to change boot settings.
I understand that the BIOS is locked and that I can't change RAM timings or voltages. Can anyone help me figure out how to get this RAM working? I have 4x 4Gb sticks of this... if I install one stick, it will boot. When I install two sticks it won't.
Additional information: I did upgrade the psu. The one that came with was only 180W... the new one is 320W (I upgraded the videocard as well).
***Update: It does appear that this may be the Lenovo H320, which is listed as only supporting 8gb max RAM... I assume that also means it should only support a max of 2gb per DIMM.
