I have LENOVO 2111C3U ThinkCentre M78. It came with 1 4 gig chip of samsung memory. I bought 2 8 gig chips of crucial memory (based on their tool recommendation). When I try to use all 3 chips, I eventually get blue screen of death errors. It takes a few days or weeks, but it eventually crashes. 4 gig by itself ok, 8 gig by itself ok, but not all 3 together. Crucial tech support said "we can't guarantee compatibility with other brands of memory. This is due to them being made differently.". They were very firm and repeated this answer 3 times.
so do I just toss the samsung chip? I have tried a few variations of what slots I used, but I did not take notes. I have the 2 8 gig chips in dim 0 and dim1, which are closest to the cpu and that works fine.
