Hi guys.
I;m new on this forum so ... pleased to meet you all.
I have a Acer Travelmate 5720 ms2205 with 2x1GB DDR2 667 memory and BIOS version 1.32. I bought 2x2GB Kingmax DDR2 800 memory and replaced the current one. Here the problems began. I can't even finish installing Windows 7 Home Premium x64, I get blue screens or the laptop freezes totally. Reverting to the old memory everything runs smooth as butter.
I guess a BIOS update could fix this BUT ....
I've been doing quite a lot of reading around on Travelmate 5720 BIOS updating and nobody recommends it. Many tried and bricked their machines.
Can somebody tell me exactly what BIOS update to use ( one that will work for sure ) ?!? and how to properly update ? I'm quite desperate.
Oh ... almost forgot ... memory runs perfectly on a Dell D630 so no mem issues what so ever.
Thank you in advance.
