Simple you got the memory with voltage 1.5v version, you need the 1.35v, return it and get this Corsair Vengeance Performance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1866MHz Laptop Memory (CMSX16GX3M2B1866C10)

No sure what your problem is guessing that it works fine with your old RAM. The RAM I bought worked fine in my HP. I would double check it and see if the RAM is correct for your computer. If your computer will work with 1 module then try that with 1 module at a time in case one modlue is bad. Not sure about the noise. If the RAM is not correct or bad the computer makes a beeping sound. Hope this of some help.

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

I installed two 8 GB sticks in the two primary slots under the KB of my Dell M6700 (and removed the other two sticks of 1600 from the secondary slots in the bottom. Machine fired up with no hick up. You CANNOT mix the two speeds, one other thing, Make SURE the memory is properly seated, if not machine WILL NOT boot.

Alienware 17 uses only ddr3l 1600, unfortunately you are limited to that speed only if it's the latest alienware laptops. You need ddr3l 1.35v 1600 ram due to the bios lock they did.

Hi PaulAccording to research, you computer uses DDR1 memory. This product is DDR2 memory. You could check the DDR1 memory for sale on amazon and find out if it is compatible with your laptop. I hope this helps!Regards,Daryl

Here is exactly what I suggest.Call Corsair yourself and talk with Tech Support.That is what I did when mine arrived.They are pretty nice and I would think they will know what you can and cannot do in regards to hooking it up.If I knew I would tell you but I do-not want to guess.If you go back to my lengthy Post on reviews you will see that I had the Geek Squad come and hook mine up.It had no sound and we could not figure out why.The Geek Squad guy did finally figure it out.Terry

Hi Pravin: I bought the Kingston 8GB 1600MHz DDR3... because I read the info and I liked the brand and I know Kingston was a good brand to purchase. It will work with your laptop and I don't see anything wrong. If you don't like it then you can always ask to return the memory.

I've got a Corsair 520-HX comming with the 8600GTS - should have added that to the earlier post. The ONLY good thing about the stock PSU is that it's quiet. I haven't had too much time to mess with it - had shoulder surgery a few days before I received it.

The laptop has 2 ram slots, i just put in mine 2x4gb crucial memories and works like a charm, before i had only the 4 gb original hynix memory in it. Also you have 2 hdd drive bays which is a rare thing into a laptop especially at this price so you can easily put in a ssd drive to speed up the system. @Lemas I don't know what problems are you experiencing but I had 0 problems with it I used windows 8 and i just upgraded to 8.1 without any problems and i am using it for more than 6 months now and is my main work laptop so it runs almost 24h/day.@Rudy yeah having a big touch pad you can easily move the cursor around so i suggest you use a mouse and shutdown the touch using FN+F7 keys.

I am not quite sure about this question, I'll answer it the best I can.I used Patriot brand, 1600mhz 16gb, bought it at local computer store for about $150.00. I wanted to make sure I had enough ram for any future needs.Now, to my understanding you cam use 1866 mhz without over clocking, I went for a more stable system for my rig.

sorry, don't know. i would send a note to corsair support. i expect they would tell you what was on their minds.

Yes the ram will work normally, and if you want to overclock your able to do that too depends how you want your ram to work.

I have the same motherboard you do, but I upgraded my cpu to the 3770k. I used this Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM, and I use the GeForce GTX 670 OC. I don't have any stability problems. Games never crash on me. Other memory would say that it was rated at a high speed, and I'd set it to XMP and it would let me, but on reboot, ASUS would give me a warning message that the overclocking failed. This is the only memory that actually runs stably for me at the higher speeds. That's why I was happy with paying a bit more for it. I'm actually toying with the idea of getting another pair to make it 16gigs. It runs great on that awesome motherboard. I have the same motherboard you do, but I upgraded my cpu to the 3770k.

A better option would be to make an online search with the model number of your PC and find RAM chipsets supported by it. I just remembered that this one in particular is for laptops and will not work on desktop PCs.

i got my asus last week and it has worked fine; so i decided to upgrade my memory. i too; now only have a black screen; comes on, but won't do anything. i've also tried putting my old memory in that it came with; but again no luck. i know that the booster was disabled; because i had just set up my wireless internet card. now; do i just need to send this back; i am very frustrated with something that cost this much and something that should have been so easy. Help!!

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 put 16GB in mine, Corsair Vengeance 16000. Found and works from very first start up. Got my computer at Wal Mart on clearance yesterday for 498.

out of 3 modules i have purchased 2 ended up being faulty so i do not recommend this memory. Buy corsair vengeance.

I have a set of 8GB (totaling 16GB) Corsair Vengeance LP clocked at 1600mh/z and it works fine for me, you can even change the mh/z on the mobo bios which has tons to choose from.

Hey, there are a few things to consider here. The h77 chipset does not support ram overclocking, so the dimms will run at their base speed. In this case, both sets of vengeance ram are 1600 mhz sticks that are certified by corsair to run at a certain overclocked speed - in this case 1866 or 2133. You won't be able to take advantage of that increased speed with your h77 board, either way. Another thing is that even if your h77 has four ram slots, it is only dual channel, and you won't see a speed improvement, only a capacity improvement. On the other hand, if you really want to buy this, compare the speed AND timings. If the timings are the same, but the speed is higher, then that is considered higher quality ram. I would suggest replacing your current 8gb with the new 16gb, and not installing both
