Inspirion 3650 Memory upgrade
Three times I have attempted to upgrade my computer purchased last year (nov 2015) from existing 8GbX1 to 16Gb by purchasing as additional 8GbX1 module to go into an empty RAM slot - from Dell. Three times the new module provided (Dell 8Gb Certified Memory Module - 2RX8 DDR3 Rdimm 1600MHz) has failed to work. I tried swapping modules to see if it was the slot (it wasn't). I moved modules around, didn't work. When trying the new module alone, the computer failed to power up, only giving me an orange blinking power light. To this day I have only 8Gb of memory, and I am getting very gun-shy about trying to purchase any more memory, FROM anybody. Anybody got any ideas??
