  • Inspiron N5010 - Can't boot Windows w/ Ripjaws

    Good day. I have a Dell Inspiron N5010 with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit).

    CPU: Intel Core i3 M350 @ 2.27GHZ
    Motherboard: Intel HM57 Chipset
    Stock Memory: PC3-10600S @ 1066MHz (2x2GB)

    I bought Ripjaws F3-1600C9D-8GRSL (2x4GB) and installed it yesterday. While the computer recognized it (could be seen on the Dell 'F2' Setup menu), when Windows tried to start, just got strange red, blue & green pattern across the entire screen and would not boot.

    I tried removing and swapping each of the sticks in both slots, same result. I do not have another laptop to try the memory in (just to verify it's not defective/damaged). Replacing the original RAM and Windows boots just fine.

    Is this memory not compatible with my Dell?

    Thank you in advance,
    -Ben

      Thank you.

      Will the F3-10600CL9D-8GBSQ also work for this? The Intel HM57 motherboard is setup for 1066 or 1333 MHz RAM correct?

      Thanks again for your help,
      -Ben

        The CPU will not support 1333
