Brand new laptop, tried to install Ram upgrade and computer won't turn on (no bios, nothing)

I got my new qosmio x70 yesterday with a ram chip I ordered online. When I install the chip into either ram slot, the computer won't boot. It won't even turn on. 
When I click the power button, the light aournd the button turns on for a moment then off again. That's it.
I thought maybe I could make a bios change, but there are NO memory options in bios. I also tried both ram chips from my old Qosmio (3 years old) and they had the same problem. Any ram that touches my machine disables it. Am I going to have to send back my brand new toy already!? 
Solved!

I have used Crucial to order in the past because they guarantee compatibility and you should not have any issues with ordering from Toshiba either. The memory you posted may work, looks like the same specs but I don't want to be the one to tell you it will work incase you have trouble with that one.
Here are memory spec terms from the crucial site to help understand what they mean.
Memory spec terms
If you're not sure if a module is right for your system, use the Crucial Memory Advisor tool for a list of guaranteed compatible modules.
NON-ECC/Non-parity— Most desktop and laptop computers take NON-ECC or Non-parity memory.
ECC/Parity— ECC or parity modules look for errors in data and are most often found in servers and other mission-critical applications used by large networks and businesses.
Unbuffered— Most PCs and workstations use unbuffered memory which is faster than registered memory.
Registered/Buffered— Registered or buffered modules delay all information transferred to the module by one clock cycle. This type of memory is primarily used in servers.
Fully buffered— Designed for next-generation servers, features an advanced memory buffer. 
CL— CAS (column address strobe) latency, which is the number of clock cycles it takes before data starts to flow after a command is received. Lower CL is faster. Modules with different CL can be mixed on a system, but the system will only run at the highest (slowest) CL.
Component configuration— (For example: 64Meg x 64) Indicates the size of the memory chip components on the module.
Voltage — For example 2.6V. Indicates the power used by the module. The lower the better

  • Installed security update and computer won't turn on

    I installed the recent security update I saw this morning and when it was done as usual it prompted me to restart, so I did so. However when it tried to boot up all it did was have the apple logo and the "spinning wheel" for over 10 minutes so I shut it down and tried turning it on one more time and the same thing happened. What should I do?

    Then boot into Single User Mode and run fsck.
    1. Power on the Mac and immediately press and hold both the command-s keys simultaneously until the Mac boots to the command line (Single user mode).
    2. At the command line type the following:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    then press return
    fsck will eventually return with a message. If it ran with no problems then the message should look like this:
    The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK
    If fsck came back with errors then it may look similar to this:
    *** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***
    In the above case with errors you will want to run fsck just as you did the first time until it comes back with the ok message listed above.
    Once fsck comes back with the ok message then try the following command:
    diskutil repairPermissions /
    Then press return
    To continue booting into OSX type:
    reboot
    then press return.

    I recently changed my lap top. My problem is the new lap top won't accept my apple I D it asked me to sing up for a new one which I did.
    I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • Itunes was working fine. Tries to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue.

    Itunes was working fine. Tried to install latest upgrade and get error message about an invalid character in the path "Program Files (x86)". PC, Win7, nothing else appears to be having same issue. Program still works, simply cannor upgrade.

    Thanks b noir,
    I tried this solution without success. After FixIt ran and didn't find a problem, either in looking for issues with "software upgrade" or "iTunes" it kindly offered to help me uninstall iTunes. I had thought of this as a possibilty but it seems to me that if you do that you lose a lot of "non-native-to-Apple" information you might have entered. I did this once and recovery was painfull. Is there a way to uninstall iTunes without losing all of that sort of thing? Any help would be appreciated.

  • Trying to install Photoshop CS4 and it won't accept my CS4 licenses.

    I had the HD crash on my pc and I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop CS4.  I log into my Adobe account and retrieve the licenses key and when I input that into the Photoshop CS4 installer I downloaded right from Adobe it says the key is wrong.  I have checked the licenses several times and it won't install where do I go from here?

    I got it there was something weird with the installer I copied to my thumb drive I re-copied the download and it works fine now.

  • Can't turn off twitter text in iphone4s. Tried settings, notifications, twitter is not an app there. Also tried settings, sounds, tweet, none, and still won't turn off notification for twitter texts.

    Can't turn off twitter text notifications.  I tried settings, notifications, but the notification center doesn't have the twitter option.  I also tried settings, sounds, tweet, none- for alert tones.  This is still not turning it off.  Twitter people said it's not their problem.  Is anyone having this problem?

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

    I just got a brand new laptop and I can't seem to put music onto my iPhone - help? I'd really rather not completely empty my iPhone in order to have it agree with this new laptop. How do I get them to talk to one another and let me put my music on my iPhone?

    The iPhone will only Sync to One iTunes Library at a time.

  • I have tried to install the upgrade to iTunes on my Windows XP system. It tells me that I have an older version of Bonjour on my system and that it can not remove it. I have also tried to uninstall what is on my system and it will not uninstall! Help?

    I have an older version of iTunes on my system. I have tried to install the upgrade and it talls me that I have an older version of Bonjour and that it can not remove it. I have also tried to uninstall what is on my system and it will not do it. Help?

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time?

  • ITunes fails to load.  Message is Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services. Never had this problem before trying to install this upgrade

    iTunes fails to load.  Message is "Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Never had this problem before trying to install this upgrade. How do I fix this?

    Dave, same problem here.  And I did go in as admin to Administrative Tools, Services, Apple Mobile Devices and tried restarting the service.  It seems there is a bug with the newest update, period.  All of the normal "easy" steps don't work.  Before I remove all of Apple's programs, including Bonjour....I'm running a full system scan.
    But the answer will be to remove all of the Apple stuff, then reboot, then use whatever utility you have to remove all temp files...then go download and install it again.  This has worked for several people (I read the thread before posting).  Win 7 64bit.  It just seems that Apple did not thoroughly test this new version.   Period.
    If Apple reads this...I have many computers...and whenever Apple wants to update something...it just about stops everything else that is going on.  Total memory hog, even with 16G RAM and dual quad core processors.  It has to learn to play nice with others.
    After the scan and I'm sure an hour or two of work...I'll re-post. 
    Of course if you do image back-ups, as I do, you can simply restore your drive to its previous state and run the previous version of iTunes, declining the update, until Apple gets it right.  Depending on the size of your drive, this could take hours.  It is a matter of choice, of course.

  • Brand new laptop: Incredibly slow and laggy.

    Hi,
    My mum received a brand new laptop on Saturday (this exact laptop) it hasnt been overly used as yet but the laptop seems very VERY slow. Browsers take a good while to open, sites like Facebook take ages to load - Farmville 2 for example takes an age to load and even when it does its very laggy.
    Why is this band new laptop so slow? Nothing has been installed on it other than Firefox and the spec of the laptop seems pretty reasonable. Windows 8 is horrible but thats another issue.
    Can anyone help or give any advice?

    Do you open farmville from the laptop or from the internet? Have you checked the speed of your LAN or wireless?
    Which are you using wireless or LAN NIC?
    When you open application on the laptop is it slow?
    Trying to determine if it is the connectivity is slow or if it is your laptop.
    Also what version of AMD Catalyst are you using?
    Here are some things you can do to make sure you are fully updated.
    Make sure you have the most current .NET Framework 4.0
    Make sure you have the most current DirectX 11.2
    Make sure all of the other Microsoft Updates are complete as well. Missing Updates can cause issues.
    Uninstall the AMD Catalyst you have now, before installing the Beta version.
    I know most are trying to use the AMD Catalyst 13.9, which is used Windows 8 64-bit.
    The AMD Catalyst 13.11 Beta9.2 Driver can be downloaded from either of these two links:
    AMD Catalyst™ 13.11 Beta9.2 for Windows®
    AMD Mobility Catalyst 13.11 Beta9.2 for Windows

  • My Lenovo says that power adapter is not supported on brand new laptop

    Hi, I bought new Lenovo laptop two weeks ago (Lenovo Y50-70) and everything worked fine up until this morning. When i turned it on baterry icon showed that laptop was not pluged in, so i checked if everything is connected properly. Next thing a pop-up appeared saying ''Adapter is not supported''. I am sending you a screenshot. I searched the problem on internet but were not able to find anything that relates to my problem. Also i tryed calling technical support but they were not able to respond to my problem. I am reminding that this is a brand new laptop with guarantee list and everything. Please help i will be awaiting for your responseThank you

    Same here. I just got off a phone for my G50-70 laptop( bought from Newegg.com . It is a new laptop with warranty.
    I am getting frustrated as they have sent the replacement charger twice and it did not solve the problem. After that, they got on a session remotely to connect on my laptop. One hour and they still could not fix it.
    They said that they will send the laptop to their technicians but they did not say anything about what if they could not solve this problem.
    A 600 USd dollar laptop and they cannot even get this fixed. I have ths problem for the last 6 months on this laptop.
    Any luck anyone?
