Hello everyone! I'm happy to say I've fixed the problem :D It had always been strange to me that in some ocassions memtest would fail right away, minutes after starting it, and others it would run without issues for days. I started to think there was a problem with how the stick was placed in...

ok! it's either a problem with the motherboard or the upper slot (or both). Both dimms work fine in my sister's computer. When I tried her 4gb dimm on my computer in the upper slot, it worked fine (i tested it for 72 hours) I was happy thinking it was a problem with my dimms. Then I tried my...

well, mistery will be solved soon, my sister Sony Vaio laptop uses the same type of memory as mine, so im testing her 4gb dimm on my computer and my dimms on her computer...lets see what happens, the thing is that she needs her computer tomorrow...so i won't be able to run it for too long...but...

Load (while running Memtest)

memtest86+ indicates the CPU temperature, is it accurate? it is always between 56ºC-62ºC

another quick update, I was running more memtests after cleaning everything with compressed air with hope that something was fixed, but after 20 mins or so (as it always happens when the 4gb stick is in the upper slot) the computer shut down and then it wouldn't turn on, I had to wait around 5...

exactly, the came from factory like this

Thank you so much Rock Man , I guess I will just use the 4gb dimm in the lower slot, I don't have errors that way. Sorry to ask you again, but why would it work on the lower slot and not in the upper?

Lenovo G770 S/N CB14341773 I have the latest BIOS,and I think there is no way to drop the ram speed from it. (sorry about the huge size of the image)

yes, same brand, here you have a pic i've posted before, and why would it fail when trying the 4gb dimm alone (in the upper slot) anyway? Thanks for your help man

Update... After testing each possible combination several times for hours (sometimes more than 3 days) I've come to these "results" (excuse my english): 2gb dimm only installed in the upper slot: no errors 2gb dimm only installed in the lower slot: no errors 4gb dimm only installed in the...

hey guys, was checking my laptop manual and it says "if only one dimm is used it MUST be installed in the lower slot, not in the upper one" Do you think that could really be "so important" to make memtest fail when i use only one dimm in the upper slot...

Ok, i will put both sticks back and use the computer normally, as soon as i get a blue screen (it may take 1 or two days)I will post the error codes. By the way, would it help cleaning the slots with those contact cleaners sprays?

my laptop is a lenovo g770 but i can't find the motherboard specs anywhere, never buying a lenovo again. Thanks Corrosive, i have friends in the USA, I could ship them to their address and then they would post them to me.

Does anybody know if i can get a single 8gb stick? I always see 2x4gb thanks
