Did you check if the memory was of the same time before you bought it?? There could be 3 possibilities. 1 you did not install properly the memory. 2 the memory is damaged. 3 the memory is not compatible with your laptop. The sound is cause because the computer do not detect any kind of memory

u have to look first to your laptop to see what kind of ram it doesn't go by the manufactory

I have this laptop, and installed Corsair Vengence at 1600 Mhz, in fact, it new comes with memory at 1333 Mhz

I would say yes. Taken from Corsair's product page: "Vengeance laptop memory upgrade kits are designed to work with any PC or notebook which accepts standard DDR3 SODIMMs."Taken from a review on Newegg: "Got my first stick of this RAM about a month ago. I put it in a Lenovo Z565 with AMD N660 replacing Samsung PC3 10600(1333MHz) CAS 9 Stock RAM. Took Win7 x86 memory index from 5.5 to 7.0!!!"

it depends on your processor (check if it supports 1600mhz ram) and if your ram is soldered on the motherboard or not, check if you have SODIMM ports

I used the geekylives link to pop in the new RAM, but the system still says 1 GB. I looked at the device drivers to see if there was a way to tell the computer to look for the extra memory, but I still haven't gotten it to recognize the extra ram, although the computer is working fine.

I used the "crucial ballistix DDR-3 1600 16GB RAM kit" that I bought on Amazon. It has a black and yellow heat sink on it, and it works great. I have not had a problem with it at all. I would suggest that you use matched sets of RAM that will help to make sure that you have no problems with your RAM! I also updated my cmos on the mother board. That helped a lot with the RAM.

No, you would need RAM that is SODIMM as this is just regular DIMM. SO DIMM is designed for laptops, there should be some Corsair Vengeance RAM for laptops though.

no, they are model specific, Corsair Vengeance might make one that will work, but you need to find the one that is compatible with your pc. you can usually find out what they are compatible with in the description.

I bought one of these motherboards and will not start, even with or without RAM. Amazon said they would send a new one, and responsibly did. This did not work either. I gave up. I am outside of the United States, specifically in Venezuela, and is a problem for me to return and bring the country back to the things I bought in the US. Sorry I can not help you more.

Please go to youtube, type in your laptop brand and model and search for memory installation. It is a simple process depending on the brand and model. Otherwise get a technician to install it for you.

I am currently running 4 8gb corsair vengeance 1866mhz with no problems. there could be several problems: 1. how many sticks of 1600 do you have? Check the instructions for putting in only 2 sticks. They do not go next to each other, they go in either dimm 1 and dimm 3 2. Check with only one stick. That way you can easily check which stick does not work. 3. Take the ram to get tested. If its bad, return it or get new ram. Are you hitting the button on the mobo that says ramchk? does the red mem led stay on? Last resort is always send the mobo back for a replacement.

Are you sure that you are pushing the ram chip all the way down? Since all was working before you played with the ram, it seems like that's your most likely point of failure. I popped in my 2GB ram and all worked fine. As I recall, when the ram seats right you can feel it. The other possibility is that you somehow damaged the ram slot. Best way to diagnose your problem is to get your hands on another 1000HE and try swapping ram chips to see if the problem lies in the ram.

I bought the Corsair Vengeance 64GB (8x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ64GX3M8A1600C9)It worked like a champ, I didn't flash the bios. I used CPU-Z to detect the mainboard settings: Model: P9X79 WS Rev 1.xx, bios American Megatrends Inc. Version: 0802 Date: 12/23/2011.

RAM yes, power supply is external like the one on the Xbox 360, alienware sells an upgrade but I don't remember the W.
