Hey - I have been trying to upgrade my RAM to 16GB, rather than the stock 6GB, and it's not working.
I'm running an Intel Core i5 5200U 2.20GHz CPU, currently with 6GB (4+2) DDR3 RAM @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28). My OS is 8.1.
I bought a 16GB RAM set (8+8) which is DDR3 (11-11-11-28) and is compatible with 1066, 1333, and 1600MHz. I have tried several different setups and arrangements of the cards, but my computer is just not recognising either of the new cards. I've heard you need to change the BIOS to accommodate a RAM upgrade - and I tried that, but my BIOS isn't changeable. I can see it, but I can't change the RAM settings.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Does anyone have any advice?
