Upgraded to 4GB Ram 64bit but doesnt work correctly
Hi,
I have recently upgraded my Dell Latitude D531 from XP 32 bit to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
Previously I had 2.5GB of RAM, however having undertaken a crucial scan it said I can now have 4GB of RAM. So, I ordered a new 2GB and replaced the 512MB stick.
Upon booting up for the first time and hit F1 to acknowledge that the RAM has been changed it loaded to the log in screen however I could see loads of white horizontal lines across the screen. I was able to login and the desktop appeared fine.
I then noticed that the audio was coming up saying it cannot be found. It had a red cross through the symbol in the taskbar.
I restarted on numerous occassions to no avail.
I took the new 2GB stick out and put the 512MB back in and all loaded without any problems.
Any ideas?
