Vostro 1540 RAM upgrade
Hello,
I am trying to upgrade my Vostro 1540 RAM 2GB laptop with: 4GB DDR3 SDRAM SODIMM 1600 MHZ (PC3-12800)
Unfortunately it does not work... the screen of my laptop scrambles into unusual pattern and showing message and purchased 4GB RAM image also attaching.
Can someone please tell me what do I have to do to use my new RAM modules?
Thank you!

srijesus2428,
You will need to get ram that meets the specifications below. You cannot mix different memory.
Memory Configuration
Vostro™ 1440, 1450, 1540, 1550, 2420 and 2520 have two user-accessible SODIMM sockets, both slots can be accessed after removing the base cover. Basically, when both DIMM connectors are populated, the system has optimum dual-channel performance unless channels A and B have different amounts of memory.

Hi Jesse,
I have the same problem with RAM modules in my laptop VOSTRO 1540... I have two 4GB RAM DRR3 1333 modules and my laptop displays the blue screen.
What´s the correct specification for my laptop's RAM modules including voltage?
