my laptop Compaq Presario V3438TU has original RAM module Hynyx DDR2 PC2 - 5300 bus 667 MHz 512 MB. I wanted to add a new memory Kingston DDR2 PC2 - 5300 bus 667 MHz 1GB, however, when I plugged that new one to the remaining slot (that laptop has 2 memory slots), the system could not boot up, just showed a blank screen. I first thought that there was the incompatible between the old and new module, however, the system can only boot when 1 memory module (either 512M or 1G) was plugged on the original memory slot (in this case, the upper one). The presence of RAM module in the lower slot cause problem. The same effect happened when I plugged the 512M module to another latop HP Cpmpaq 6520s (had original RAM Qimonda DDR2 PC2 - 5300 MHz 1GB): only 1 RAM module could make the system boot up, except that at this time, the memory must be in the lower slot So I thought that I must change the something to make the system recognize the module in the non-original slot in both laptops (some jumper, maybe). However, I haven't found yet Any one can help?, your supports are highly welcomed:) Thanks
