Hey guys,

I bought 2*4GB DDR3L 1600 RAM for my Acer Aspire 5745G. It won't boot after replacing the ram. What's wrong?

I had read up on the net that a DDR3L should work where a DDR3 did and 1600 should work where 1066 did!

Specs:
Acer Aspire 5745G 2010 model.
Core i5 430M processor, Acer ZR7 mobo, Intel HM55

Current working RAM: 2*2GB DDR3, 1066, dual channel (2*533)
Spec on the sticker: 2GB 2Rx8 PC3 10600S-09-10-F2

New RAM that won't work:
2*4GB DDR3L, 1600
http://www.amazon.in/Transcend-4GB-DDR3L-1600-LAPTOP/dp/B00B5LOOJG

Crucial scan also shows DDR3L,1600 RAM as compatible.

Please help!

From what I have read, DDR3L works at both the lower and higher voltage and DDR3 works at the higher voltage.
Doesn't DDR3L always work where DDR3 did?

@nsabhyankar did you find any solution to this? i am also looking to upgrade ram for exactly the same model and i was also going ahead with 2*4GB DDR3L 1600Mhz 1.35V

Thanks to your post that I didn't purchase it.
