Well, for starters make sure that your ram is securely installed and locked into place. Second make sure that RAM that you purchases can be used in the computer (4 GB SO-DIMM) which is very important which is also translated into PC3-12800 SODIMM. Your current net book I am sure you are aware can only max out at 8 gigs of RAM. Another thing is one should consider is when one is buying ram is to buy two of the same brand, because using two different brands sometimes does not work well. This is the model that you are working with? http://www.pcworld.com/product/pg/1234547516/detail
1. Verify you have compatible RAM (PC3-12800 SODIMM) 2. Verify that your RAM is locked into the holders securely and pressed completely into the slot, so that the pins make full contact within the slot. 3. The RAM could just be DOA (dead on Arrival) though most of the times this does not happen. Since most ram companies guarantee that the RAM is fully functional.
