    Just installed 2X 4GB Corsair memory modules (CM3X4GSD1066) and system couldn't boot. After few attempts got it up and working but after restart it went silent again( just green WiFi LED was on). Removed one module and replaced with 2 GB and everything is OK now. Any suggestions how to solve this problem.
    Acer 4810 TG Win7 64.

    try the modules individually, maybe you got a faulty module. Either that or there's a compatibility problem.

    Tried them both individually... the only time when I have problems is when they're both in. Right now I'm running 4+2 with no issues.

    The number of Chips on the Memory Module matters as well sometimes it will cause issue on high density memory modules.

    I'm going through the same thing here guys with my 4810 TGZ - tried Corsair, Crucial and now Mushkin but nothing working. Definitely running 64bit Os Win 7 - anything else I need to do? I'm going mad!!!

    Funny thing is, the laptop will eventually boot up, and says it has 8Gb memory, but runs like it as 256Mb!!!
