2 or 4 Ram Slots in Lenovo G510?

I have bought new Lenovo G510 with i7 , 1TB , 8Gb ram with windows 8.1
In my task manager. It shows i have only consumed 2 slots from 4 slots of RAMS. but when i opened the back cover i only found the 2 slots as i have extra 4 GB ram and thought to insert it.
Can anyone tell me it has 2 slot then why its showing as 4 total slots in task manager.
Thanks

This is due to Task Manager viewing the chipset that is used in the design of your motherboard. This same chipset can be used on motherboards that support 4 slots as well.

RAM upgrade lenovo G510

Hi,
I wanted to upgrade RAM of my lenovo G510.
It is currently having i5 4th Gen 4gb memory.
Can I upgrade it to 12GB (means adding 8GB) in another slot.
If possible, will Transcend JetRam ddr3 (JM1600KSH-8G) compatible?

Second ram stick should be the same type and timings, voltage but diffrent manufacturer should work.I have sharetronic and kingston 4gb ddr3l each working dualchannel fine.

Lenovo G580 2nd Ram slot broken

My laptop was preinstalled with 4gb and recently I brought a new 4gb ram to add to the computer but as I inserted it in the 2nd slot it still detects it as 4gb. I tried numerous times and also tried swapping them to find out and I know it isn't the new ram because Windows detects it on 1st slot but it's only when I put a ram in the 2nd slot that it has errors. My Windows is 64 bit so it should be able to use more memory. I don't know whether it could be the snap-in or something is wrong with the memory in the hardware. Could I get this fixed from a store or some remedy to get it to read?

Nevermind everyone. I feel so stupid right now. Turns out after hours of messing around with the ram slot I forgot that I needed to actually push down the ram into the slot rather than just inserting into place. I solved the problem myself so it turns out it wasn't a bad slot after all.

Where do i find the second ram slot on a t43 thinkpad

i believe ram might be my issue causing my t43 to freeze moving the mouse pointer with the track pointer helps get things working i bought a new 1gb ram and installed it in the ram port since then i have been able to run sluggish applications more smoothly but after a while of using these applications up to an hour the t43 freezes using the track point put some life back in to the machine (enough to close the application) when i dont have anything running except the internet it runs fine i believe the t43 has some sort of second ram slot since in the system it now shows as 1.5gb of ram and not 1gb
should the t43 have a second ram slot how easy is it to get at i don't want to accidentally break something

Welcome to the forum!
The second RAM slot is under the keyboard. Check the HMM for removal instructions:

Lenovo G510 i7 heating problems

Hi, I bought a Lenovo G510 two weeks ago and two day ago I noticed a sudden temperature rising under my palm while using the qwert keyboard with my left hand. Under my left arm is the ram which gets hot imedialty after starting the Lenovo. I checked it with Speedfan and its says right after booting the ram is 45C. While the ram is getting warmer even during idle modus my hdd is also getting hotter.
Is this normal for the Lenovo g510 or is defect?
I bought this one : http://www.amazon.de/Lenovo-Notebook-4700MQ-5400RPM-schwarz/dp/B00FQLVHK0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=140...

Hi Lenovoboi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that your G510 Laptop temperature is automatically increasing. I would suggest you to check using the Laptop on a Flat Surface to make good air ventilation and 45c is a normal temperature and no need to worry also check if there are any Dust/Foreign particles stuck in the air vents. Please let me know the findings.
Hope to hear back soon
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

Lenovo G510 : power button

Hello ! I have a Lenovo G510 , i5 ,1Thdd , 6gb RAM . I think was an error with uploading the post .... I ask if someone know if power button have light on this model Lenovo G510 . :-) I put an image to see.... thank you !

Sorry to hear the reset didn't fix the problem.
I doubt the light is driver related since the light is usually illuminated when the laptop first powers up and that would be before the operating system is loaded.
The lights aren't changeable and it is difficult to say why yours has failed. There is the slight chance it might be actually working, but a piece of debris is blocking the light. If you have the laptop in a very dark room can you see any faint light around the power button ?

hi rosscarnie,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
This model only has 1 Mpcie slot and it is already occupied by the wifi card.
If you are aiming for using an SSD on the mpcie slot
You can either replace the wifi card with an MSATA SSD or replace the HDD with a 2.5 SSD

Accessing ram slots on a 27 iMac

I just received a new 27 iMac and I’m thinking about adding an additional 4GB of ram. I’m not very excited about laying this big boy down onto its face to add the extra ram. Is it possible to place the machine on the edge of a table and tilt it back to access the ram slots?

Thanks for the responses. So I agree with you guys about following the directions. I'm trying to visualize the best way for my wife and I to tip it onto it's face. Should I hold the sides while my wife holds the arm in the back? Or should we each take a side? I'm trying to avoid getting a bunch of finger prints on the screen or stirring up dust that might exist inside the machine.
I know I might seem overly paranoid but it's been four month ordeal for me to get where I'm at right now. I would hate a screw something up at this point in the game.

Ram slots on a G-5

How do ram slots J-43 and J44 relate to the numbered slots inside the machine 1-4 upper and lower on a G-5?

If you're sure the RAM is good, try the Hair Dryer trick...

RAM slot failure on a Equium P300-16T

Hi, Ive got a RAM slot failure on a Equium p300-16T. I have tested both RAM modules and there in perfect working order. RAM slot 1 works and laptop boots successfully but as soon as RAM module inputed into RAM slot 2 no boot.
My frustration comes from when i began a warranty repair on Friday night through the website and it refused to accept it stating that the server had timed out. Unfortunately this timing out seem to happen every time i went to finish the warranty claim. And to my dismay my Serial number is no longer available on the website due to the warranty running out today (2nd of August).
Is there anything i can do?
Kind Regards
Ian Watt

What size RAM are you installing?
The system is capable of 2GB Max in total, so if you are installing RAM above 2GB, booting will/may fail.
You may be able to install a 2GB Module in Slot A, but it will probably be unstable and cause intermittent BSOD's. Or not boot at all. (not recommended)
I believe your laptop has the Santa Rosa chipset, which requires RAM in at least Slot A.
If you install RAM in Slot B only, it wont boot.
So basically to get the most out of the system, you should have a 1GB Module in each slot, which is how it comes from the factory if the specs found in google are correct.

Problem with AMD and Lenovo G510 Notebook

Hello,
I bought a Lenovo G510 Notebook i7 with both Intel and AMD Radeon 8570 graphic cards and I have to say my (first and only) experience with AMD and Lenovo is being so far totally disgusting.
My problem is that there's no way I can make the computer use the AMD Radeon while playing, I updated the drivers (even following instructions from Lenovo Staff in this forum) and there's no way to do it. I updated it from AMD and Intel webpages and neither works. Right now I have the latest drivers from Lenovo webpage and the computer can't even recognize the AMD graphic card (in Device manager is written as OPAL GT/XL 6604).
I don't know what else to try, I've been trying to look for more solutions in the websites but I have to say they are for me totally a mess and the only thing I got was "update your drivers" once and again. I hope the service is better than the offered in the website.
Diego

Can you tell me what Windows version are you using? And some other information.
For example:
G510
i5-4200M
4GB
500GB
Fresh Windows 8.1 Pro Update 1 x64 (means I did not update but installed fresh after formatting all partitions)
Intel HD 4600 & AMD Radeon HD 8570M

MacBook Pro mid 2012 15" - one RAM slot gone bad

Hi,
Has anyone ever had the issue with not working RAM slot? My MacBook Pro mid 2012 (non-retina) suddenly froze and after restart was beeping three times every few seconds. I found out that the beeping signals bad RAM. Bought new chips, and the problem still exists. My mac can now run on one slot with 4GB RAM.
I did check the placement of the chips in the slots, i also checked one slot at a time, and one of them has gone broken.
Any ideas on how to make it run again? or if it is possible to replace the slots?

The Apple-accepted cure for a dead RAM slot is a new logic board. Unless you ahve AppleCare, that will be an expensive fix.
An Apple service option is the "depot repair." Instead of working on your computer in the Apple Store, they send it to a centralized refurbishment facility where they fix anything they find wrong (except for cosmetic damage and damage from abuse like dropping) for a flat fee of a little over US$300. That is between 30 and 40 percent of the parts and labor charges if Apple installs a new board in an Apple Store. Sometimes they will install an new battery at the depot without increasing the flat fee.
The downside is that it takes about a week; for that level of cost savings, I could do without my computer for a week.
So take it to Apple and ask about a depot repair.
A low-tech and low-cost option is to expand on what you are doing now--using one slot. Although the official RAM limit on your model is 8GB RAM (two 4GB models), your model can actually handle a total of 16GB (two 8GB modules. You can ignore the dead slot and put an 8GB module in the good slot. My 2012 MBP has 8GB RAM and is completely happy running Mavericks.
Be sure to ONLY get the RAM from an Mac-savvy vendor. For over a decade I've bought all our Mac RAM from one supplier. This is their page for an 8GB module for your MBP model:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/1600DDR3S8GB/
I would also trust Crucial on this one. For a change they recognize that your model can use more RAM than stated in Apple's outdated specs:

How to fix a malfunctioning RAM slot?

I tried to upgrade my Mac Mini (late 2012) from 2 x 2GB to 2 x 8GB after ordering the correct Crucial RAM from Amazon, based on user reviews. After my first installtion attempt, I found that the Mac mini would only recognize only one of the 8 GB sticks. The Blank 1 slot was listed as empty when in the system information retrieved via apple menu. So I repeated the installation 3 times but after the third attempt the Mac mini would start and beep and the monitor screen was black. So I reinstalled the old RAM and the Mac mini would beep again after turning it on. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the top RAM slot wasn't holding the RAM tightly and the left clip plastic piece was little more flexible than the bottom piece. So I removed the RAM and inserted it at 45 degree angle and pressed hard so that it popped in place. Yet the Mac Mini beeps upon start. Even if the top slot is damaged, it doesn't want to run on the bottom RAM slot which seems to work fine. I purchase the Mac Mini in Feb 2013 and just spent over $100 to upgrade the RAM. It's a shame I will have to shell out more to fix it. Any suggestions?

The Mac Mini started with the original RAM after I had sealed the hardline crack with some lactate. The release and hold mechanism for the top slot became stiffer after that. The Crucial RAMs didn't work but I am happy that the mini can start with the original RAMs. There were over 2000 5-star reviews for the Crucial RAM on amazon but the latest reviews are negative suggesting drop inequality or compatibility issues. I am going to return the Crucial RAM and be content with the 4 GB RAM for now.
