M17x R1 RAM upgrade problems
Hi -
I am sure this has been discussed before, but I just got my R1 out of the closet and upgraded the RAM to corsair vengeance ddr3 1600MHz 8gigs. When I rebooted I saw that the 8gigss was recognized but the boot stopped just after that screen and the caps lock button started blinking quickly. I can get into the bios but can't get to the windows screen. Any suggestions?
thanks

I think the 1600MHz is the problem

a core-2 duo 2.8GHz.
64bit Win7
I tried slowing down the memory GHz in the bios. That almost worked. I could get the computer to boot just before the windows logo appears during boot. I went all the way down to 400Mhz, but then the computer wouldn't start. It is 1333 by default.
