It is not as easy as just plugging in new memory boards. There is clock speed, ECC, DDR and voltage considerations. What RAM did you try to use for the ugrade?

All ram is not created equal.

You should check on the Laptops manufacturer website support pages. They should have a list of know ram manufacturers that have been tested with your laptop.

Check in the manual to see if the ram may have to be installed in pairs.

Also, be sure the new ram is seated properly in the slot.

The ram may not be fully compatible with your laptop.

Acer aspire 5600 does not boot up

If you upgraded RAM to 4GB that is exactly what is going to happen. The ACER 5601 AWMLi does NOT support 4GB. Flashing the bios will NOT solve this problem.

Boot with over 2GB of ram

Make sure you got the right speed -

Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-4200 or DDR2 PC2-5300.

If you got faster than 5300 they may not clock down properly.

If the memory is the correct specs then it may simply not be compatible and you will have to try different RAM.

I have the best luck on laptops with Crucial ram - they have certified ram for many systems. here is a link for yours:
