Acer Aspire 5610 RAM upgrade issue. Sorry, it's long-winded. I included everything. lol I'm trying to upgrade from 1GB (two 512mb modules), to 2GB (two 1GB modules). The max for this machine is supposed to be 4GB. First time around, the upgrade worked for 1 week. Then the laptop got caught in a reboot loop...memory error. I did some troubleshooting, and found that one of the modules had stopped working. I popped in one of the old 512's and it started working again at 1.5GB (one old module, one new module). I returned it and was sent a replacement. Replaced the old 512 module with the replacement 1GB module. So, I was back to running 2GB. It worked for 1 DAY, and the video went out. Once again, I pulled the new module out. I am now running at 1.5GB again. But, now I am having an issue with the Sims 3. No problems before, but when it trys to run now it "blue screens" on me and reboots. I was an IT Tech for 7 years, but never dealt with laptops. This has me stumped. Please help!!

First refer to the motherboard's manual and see the max. RAM support.... then go to system properties | advanced tab | start up and recovery | go to settings under system failure....uncheck automatically restart
then when the blue screen appears....note down the error message and error code.... post the message and code to me...
this might ease your problem a little bit....

I have Acer laptop Aspire 5570z module Zr1 with memory 1GB I want to increase memory 2GB or 3GB Is it possible or not What will be the expenditure?

Your laptop's RAM is upgradeable to up to 4 GB using two DDR2 533/667 MHz SODIMM modules.

So your upgrade options here are:
1. Buy a 1 GB DDR2 533/667 MHz SODIMM module & install it to get a total RAM of 2 GB (Price around US$ 25).
2. Buy a 2 GB DDR2 533/667 MHz SODIMM module & install it to get a total RAM of 3 GB (Price around US$ 45).

Hp Compaq dx2200 MT RAM Problems

Firstly, you have to know that you can upgrade RAM as Double or Half of your pre-installed RAM. For example, like your pre-installed RAM is 256 MB, you can only upgrade RAM of capacity 128 MB or 512 MB. Secondly, check your previous installed RAM's speed that is shown in Ghz. You can only upgrade RAM to its similar speed, otherwise you get slow performance of PC.

Bios upgrade bios for aspire 5610z

If you go to the acer site there are utilities to update the bios

http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/utilities.html#BIOS

Make sure 11% that you flash the correct bios as the wrong one will render it useless. Also make sure that you are plugged into the mains when doing it and pray that there isnt a power cut during the flash :)
