Hello Everyone

I recently bought new RAM (Kingston KVR1333D3N9/4G) that I put on my HP Probook 4530s. The performance increased but some apps like Chrome, Firefox sometimes Adobe Illustrator etc. started crashing. The most frequently crashing program is Chrome and I get the "Aww Snap" screen at least 3 times everytime I browse. The Stock RAM is Low Density and the Kingston is High Density (I don't know if that could be causing the problem)

I've had 3 BSODs so far, 2 before a BIOS update ( PFN_LIST_CORRUPT & CACHE MANAGER ) and one today (BAD_POOL_HEADER)

Screenshots of what I'm running:

Memory Tab: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B28RzKb5W9tDVTM2c1RkMU...

SDP S2: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B28RzKb5W9tDNGVFYm4ybF...

My assumption is that the crashes are being caused by the difference in some values. Please note: I have very little knowledge about most of this stuff. So TechGods please advise me on what I can do stop the crashing.

What ram can you put in it per specs? What ram was in it when you got the BSoDs?

Sorry I had forgotten to put the specs. Here is what I'm running. (Screenshots from CPU-Z)

So you should have 8gb 1.5v 9-9-9-24
and you've got 4gb of that plus 4gb 10-9-9-24

So you've got mixed ram - sorry, doesn't work. All ram in a pc or laptop has to be identical, preferably from a tested kit eg 2 x 4gb 1333 9-9-9-24 1.5v

Is it possible to modify the timings of one to work with the other?

Its possible but not probable. As I said, you should be using a tested kit.
