Tech Support Forum - View Single Post - Acer Aspire 5630-6368 won't always boot up after RAM upgrade

I'm the original poster.

The only solution I have been given is to call Acer Support at 1-800-816-2237 Mon-Fri 7am-9pm CST and Sat-Sun 8am-5pm CST.

I have "troubleshooting fatigue" right now and I'm busy with many things, so I've been putting off the phone call. My laptop does eventually start up after 1-4 tries. Eventually I'll give in and call the line.

The manual posted above states, "upgradeable to 4 GB using two
(dual-channel support)" which is what I have. When my computer boots successfully, BIOS shows all 4 GB of memory, as does Windows (shows 3 instead of 4 for expected techy reasons).

If someone does get a solution, please post. If I get to it first, I'll post.
