hello i have a compaq laptop.. I upgraded the RAM recently to 1.5 but after that, sometimes when working, the screen goes black (and once it gone white too ) But the cpu keeps on working.. i mean if a song was playing, it keeps on playing. Then I have to restart the computer again to see it back normal.. Any comp geek here to help me ??
If your problems started after a RAM upgrade, then there's every chance that it's not in properly. Reseating isn't a big deal, it's not exactly brain surgery to remove RAM - if you've never done it before, just Google it Your laptop manual will probably give you step by step instructions on removing the RAM. Most Compaqs are pretty easy to work with (I've got a Presario that's had all sorts of RAM in and out of it over the last couple of years).
No.. the half GB is the original compaq/hp made and the new 1GB is from transcend. The vendor said, the transcend one is compatible with every laptop.. doesn't make sense. Though the computer works great, but during once or twice a day, the problem occurs.
Better you contact your nearer compaq service provider immediately and let them know of this for quick solution. DON.
Are you sure that the RAM is compatible with your laptop? Either call compaq support or get yourself a new one
yes it is compatible.. RAM doesnt require many things for compatibility.. just speed and sodim is enough.. Can't afford new
i m also having the same problem but the screen doesnt go black, it goes to any other random color instead
