Soo i got a 4gb ddr3 ram stick (1x4gb) and i already have 4gb installed when i put it in my laptop it clicks like normal and looks like installed properly but when i boot it up it starts beeping and screen doesn't even turn on any solution? Thank you
 
Solution
google the laptop model number and the words "beep codes" and see what the beeps mean.. the beep codes are diagnostic tools, different patterns means a different device is at issue.
for instance my no RAM beep code is three short beeps, pause, three short beeps, repeat
mixing RAM is a gamble. the sticks may not like each other
