    Hi there,

    I believe that notebook has 2GB of RAM soldered (built in) to the motherboard. Your 4GB stick may not be recognized. Try removing the 4GB and see if the notebook still starts.

    I found a note here that says if you upgrade the RAM, the RAM you buy must match the timings of the built-in memory ...search for 'soldered' in this page:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/asu...creen-ux21a-ux31a-ux32a-ux32vd-142-print.html

    You can use CPU-Z to find the timings of any installed memory: CPU-Z CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting
    Get the '1.71 zip, English' version.
