    M860TU RAM problem

    I have an older M860TU; early '09 model.

    X9100 3.06GHz
    4GB RAM (Super Talent W1333SB2GM DDR3-1333 2x2GB)
    GTX 260M
    etc.
    etc.
    BIOS is version 1.02.17

    The problem is, I've recently bought an 8GB kit (Corsair CM3X8GSDKIT1066 2x4GB) and after installing them, there is no display.

    Tried one stick at a time, gets detected as 4GB and Windows boots up.. however it'll sometimes freeze or BSOD with "0x0000001A" MEMORY_MANAGEMENT message.

    Any ideas?

    I know it sounds like bad memory, but since with one stick individually Windows boots and works, I'm not sure why it doesn't at least post and show me 8GB detected.

    Any advice is appreciated :)
    Cheers

    I haven't run memtest yet, purely because individually each stick works (to a certain extent).

    I'll run it soon and report back.

    pretty sure it can.. i remember it being an option when i originally bought it.
    thanks for the heads up.. either way the ram is very cheap so if it doesnt work it'll go in another laptop.

    Clevo's user manual and barebones kit specs do not update. The D900F could take 3MP webcam, 280M, 285M, 480M and FX3800M. Clevo only ever listed it as supporting the 280M and FX3800M and a 2MP cam.
