Samsung NP-RV509-A0CIN Problem With 4 GB RAM

[Jeet Chowdhury]

Recently I have purchased a HP 4 GB RAM DDR3 1333MHz for my Laptop Samsung NP-RV509-A0CIN. After installing this RAM into my laptop. My laptop show the 4 GB on system BIOS but it is not booting windows or anything just a black screen. So I downloaded and ran MemTest86+ from my Ubuntu disk and every time it is scanning the memory for errors the system restart with some rainbow color effect after few seconds....

But with my old 2GB OEM RAM laptop running just fine. Any help here?

I cannot find any documentation showing the RAM specs for that notebook.

All I can find is it came with 2Gb but I cannot even find out what speed. Are you sure it is suppose to be compatible? How did you determine that was the right RAM to buy? It doesn't sound like it is compatible.

Even when I switch the Corsair Memory Finder to India, it does not list that RV509 notebook.

I found one site that says it supports up to 8Gb but it also says it came with DOS so not sure I trust that.

Thanks for your reply...

Yes it's come with DOS. Then I have installed Windows over it. The old 2GB RAM is Samsung RAM (1333MHz - 10600S) DDR3. So I ordered for HP DDR3-1333MHz RAM. But as I can see on it, It is 10600U not 10600S... Does that make any difference? :huh:

I can only assume it has to do with the timings but I cannot find anything specific to say what the timing for S or U are. Sorry. I can only suggest you visit the sites for RAM makers and hopefully they will have memory finders for you to find compatible RAM. I have tried Crucial, Corsair and Kingston, but unfortunately, they don't list your notebook.

Yes.... I just sent my RAM for RMA. Lets see what happened with the new RAM they send to me. And I will update that here.
