One ram slot not working - ASUS P8H61-M LX LGA1155/ Intel H61B3/ DDR3/ A&V&GbE/ MATX

Maybe the RAM or the SLOTS are not in good conditon.

To check if RAM is still good, use the RAM alternately on same slot by then you can see which RAM is already damaged.

If two RAMs works very well and it runs your computer.

Now check if both RAM Slots are working by using one(1)
working RAM and install it on slots respectively.

It seems to be issue with RAM. Remove RAMs from RAM slot, clean up dust from RAM slot as well from RAM. Hook up RAM back to the RAM slot. If it would still not work, then replace the RAM.

Latops have two RAM slots and they usually are located on the bottom of the laptop.
If you see only one RAM slot on the bottom of your laptop then this is RAM slot is number 2, the other RAM slot is located under the keyboard and this memory slot is RAM slot number 1 and the first RAM module in installed in this RAM slot.

Beforeyouassume the 2nd RAM slot is faulty check the following.
When instaling RAM in the 2nd memory slot this RAM may not be compatible with the RAM in the 1st memory slot or the RAM may be faulty.
Try and use the same make, speed and size RAM modules.
If the RAM slot is faulty, chances are it cannot be repaired.

Is the 1Gb RAM you purchase the same make and speed as the original? If not, they may not be compatible with each other or the new RAM module may be faulty.
Try removing the RAM from slot 1 and insert the new 1Gb RAM module in slot and boot up your laptop to test the new 1GB RAM module.
Installing a single 2Gb RAM module should work.
.

umm .. Are both RAM memory modules the same type? You can fit different types of RAM to a computer but they may not be compatible together. Check that both modules are the same.

Other than that, it sounds as if the problem may be slot 2. This would suggest that either the RAM isn't being correctly engaged or the slot is faulty.

Switch off the computer. Put a memory module into slot 2 to see if the computer works. Try it with both memory modules using slot 2. If neither memory module works in slot 2 this indicates a fault - motherboard probably.

If one memory module works in slot 2 - but not the other module - this tends to indicate a mismatch between the RAM modules and they are not compatible together.

OK bud you got 2 slots on this thing.  Lets call them slot A & B.  Install one RAM board in slot A and turn on your computer to see if it works.  Work?  If yes then power down and take the RAM board out of slot A and set the RAM board off to the right.  Now take your other RAM board and insert in slot A again and power up the laptop.  Don't work?  Well then, you got a defective RAM board.  But if this RAM board works also, then your RAM boards are good.  Now try them out individually in slot B.  If they don't work individually in slot B, then you know slot B is fu.k.d up.  Also, check to see if you got the correct #s on the RAM and that you haven't exceeded the laptop's specifications for max ram.

That board type does not show on the ASUS web site. I think that your problem may be incompatibility of the RAM with the board specs. Placing faster RAM on the board will not make it go faster.

The NX6310 laptop supports up to 4 Gb of RAM either 533 or 667 MHz DDR SDRAM.
When memory upgrades don't work, the problem could be incapable memory between RAM modules.
Try to use RAM from the same manufacturer, especially the manufacturer of the working RAM.
Use RAM that have the same speed specification.

If you know what mother board you have you could check what RAM it can use.

All RAM is installed in the same way, but different types of RAM are keyed differently. That basically means that one type of RAM (for example SD RAM) will simply not fit into another type of RAM slot (for example a DDR RAM slot).

To install ram on a PC
Please note - do NOT touch the connector side of the RAM, handle it only by holding the side or top edge
1. check that you have the right type of RAM. do this by lining up the RAM above the RAM slot and making sure that the RAM is the same length as the RAM slot AND ALSO that the RAM's key (the little hole or notch in the RAM) lines up with the key in the RAM slot. Note there might be more than one key
2. open both clips of the RAM slot by pushing them down and out from the center of the RAM slot
3. gently insert the RAM into the RAM slot
4. check again that the RAM and the RAM slot's key's line up, if they do, firmly press down on the RAM on both corners until both clips automatically click shut on the RAM

That's it! :-)
