    Ram slot cause laptop freezing


    i have acer nitro-5 laptop that i bought a year ago. recently i started noticing that windows always freezes at startup, weather its shut down or even in sleep mode, once i open the laptop, the screen freeze. i have two slots 16 GB rams i removed one of the rams and the pc worked perfectly. i tried both two rams in the same slot and it worked so no problems with the rams itself. there is a slot that cause freezing and blackscreens to my pc. when i insert only one ram in that slot the pc wont even open. just a black screen and the keybord keys light is on.but when i open the pc with both rams

  2. Ram slot

    Greetings my friend. Like 'Mike P', my dell has only two slots as well. There are several laptops that have four (4) ram slots. Lenovo, ASUS, some HP's and some dell's. I would suggest going to a website like newegg.com, or other computer accessory place,
    and looking at their memory/ram selections. Reading their details should provide some insight as to the number of slots.

    Of course, if your budget allows, the more ram you have, the better the laptop will be.

    I hope this helps.

    Ram slot

    My laptop only has two ram slots - some laptops have two slots under the keyboard and two under a base panel. Might check the manufacturers site for the user manual. Or visit crucial.com or Kingston.com, both have online scanners that should be accurate.

    Ram slot cause laptop freezing

    System not detecting slot 1 with 4GB RAM.


    I found the reason why the RAM in the other slot is not getting detected.
    In laptop RAM slots the pins on the bottom connector are a little curved so that it can push the RAM to make contact with the pins on the top connector when we press-fit the RAM in its place. The fit is such that the RAM is held in place with all 204 pins in contact.
    In my laptop, the pins on the second slot are not having enough curvature on the bottom pins. Hence, when I place the RAM in the slot and press it down, the pins never get connected to the top connector. Moreover the connection is so loose that I can easily slide the RAM out of place even after press-fitting it. So, the RAM is never detected! *Sad

    Unfortunately my laptop is long out of warranty and nothing will be done by the OEM.
    The only way I can now upgrade is to put an 8 GB RAM in the slot which is working fine (easier way) or get the RAM connectors changed.

    Thanks for all your suggestions and help.
