    Problems setting up replacement laptop


    I have been trying to set up my new upgraded HP laptop and all went well until it asked for my email address. I entered my main Hotmail account but it wouldn't let me use it! So I used my secondary Gmail account which I only use for Ebay. Firstly I had a problem with my password but eventually got it right. Then it wanted me to give details of the last 4 emails I sent from my gmail account. This was a bit of a problem as they were all ones I forwarded to my Hotmail account. So I gave as much detail as I could to verify the emails eg who from and subject matter but I received an email on my Hotmail account saying they couldn't verify it and asked me to fill out the same form again. I have done this but as there was little extra I could say about the emails I think they will fail to verify it again.

    Am I doing something wrong as I didn't have any problems when I upgraded to my existing laptop.

    I would be very grateful if someone could help.

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
