Hi everyone,
Just new here. This seemed like the place that had the best Q&A in Google, so I hope that someone can help me.
I have an Emachines E732ZG. It's default ram is 2GB and it's really struggling with Win 10, so I bought some new 4GB ram to bring it up to 6GB. I can't figure out if the ram is faulty, it doesn't play nice with the original ram, or it's some other reason.
Original Ram: Hynix 2GB 1333MHz DDR3 CL9 SODIMM Non-ECC 1.5V
https://www.amazon.com/Hynix-GB-1Rx8-PC3-10600s-9-10-B1/dp/B004E2DP2U
New Ram: Kingston 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 CL9 SODIMM Non-ECC 1.5V
https://www.kingston.com/en/memory/search/?partid=kvr13s9s8/4
When I put the new ram into the second slot (There are only two), it comes up with the usual load screen with the options to select F2 for BIOS or F12 for Boot Options, then goes to the Win 10 screen for about 5-10 seconds. The laptop dies and reboots. After three reboots it begins to get errors on the blue screen, which are all different:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
BAD POOL HEADER
I've reseated the ram multiple times, have swapped the 2GB and 4GB in the slots, have unclipped the CMOS battery multiple times (And waited 10-15 minutes between). It keeps cycling and going to a detect and repair screen, which only lasts a few seconds before the power dies and it boots again. I checked the BIOS for some way to adjust the ram speed, as per instructions on another thread on this site for same issue, but no go. I have not long upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 on this laptop.
When I take out the new ram and put the original into the first slot, the laptop boots up fine and loads the desktop.
Could anyone please help me? Thanks!
