Hello guys
I have an Amilo L1310G, Windows XP Home Edition 2002, Service Pack 3, 2x 256 RAM, Intel(R) Celeron(R) M Processor 1.61GHz ( i don't know my BIOS version, but i found that it is a " FirstBios Notebook Pro C2, Phoenix Technologies" )
I decided to upgrade my RAM memory to 2 GB, since i read that it is possible. I bought 2x1GB PC 2700 DDR SODIMM 333MHZ 200 Pin 2,5V and replaced the old ones.
The problem is that when i put 2X1GB and turn on the laptop i hear that it starts but the screen is black ! Nothing happens after that. But when i put 1 GB and one of the old 256 it works just fine. I tried every possible combination and the result is the same, it just won't work with 2X1 GB. Both of the new memory work fine but when they are combined with the old memory.
Once, when i tried to start the computer with 2X1 GB the screen turned on normally but after few seconds it turned off again. Another time again with 2X1GB it started fine but when the windows loaded and the desktop appeared , after few seconds i received the Blue Screen saying something about critical error, memory something .... i am sure that you have seen it before.
SO now i don't know what to do! I read a lot of stuff in the internet but i could not find any solution to this problem.
I read that if upgrading the BIOS to a newer version it could work, but the problem is that i don't know where to find a newer version for my BIOS. I tried in the web site of Phoenix but they want 30 $ for the upgrade ... No Way... So i looked everywhere and i could not find anything. So if you have any idea where to find a new BIOS version please share it . Or any program that can scan my BIOS and Download automatically a newer version, anything.. ?
I read also some suggestions that a 64bit Windows could support the new RAM but i am not sure if this will work. Do you ?
Honestly i don't know what to do next, so if you have any idea what can be done to start using this beautiful 2x1GB Please share it . Thanks a lot in advance !! )
