This morning, I was using my laptop with no issues at all... everything was fine and then my husband called and asked me if to go into bios and see if I could get bios to recognize the new ram that was installed... I went into bios, didnt see an option to change or update ram settings, exited out of bios and shut down computer, hubby suggested I reseat the ram in opposite slots, I did this and powered the laptop back on and it now will not boot... the power lcd cycles on and off, the fan cycles on and off as if the laptop is trying to boot, but it never happens, after about 5 cycles it just stops.... this happened immiedietly after reseating the ram so I am sure that it has something to do with that... I tried to use the origional 512 stick in both slots and see if that would work, but no go. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
