Hi, I recently bought a new Acer Aspire V5-123 netbook, it was slow as anything so I deleted all the bloatware and it became a bit faster, I then decided to upgrade the RAM.
I bought a new 4gb DDR3 from Crucial to replace the 2gb DDR3 that it came with. I checked that it was capable of handling the upgrade and I'm sure I've bought the right one. However I've put it in and on start-up all I get is a black screen and some short beeps. The beeping eventually stopped but the screen stayed black.
I put the old 2gb RAM back in and it started up fine so I went to check the forums etc and all I can see is recommendations for BIOS settings.
The Aspire is running on windows 8 so I got into the UEFI but I couldn't see what needed changing or where?
I've checked the BIOS is up to date, but I'm not sure what I need to do?
If anyone can help I would be forever grateful!
