Medion AKOYA P4375 D RAM upgrade help

SirPen — Fri, 06 Jan 2017 09:52:31 GMT

Hi fellows nerds.
Im trying to upgrade my RAM fra 2x2 GB to 2x8 GB
My specs are:
i3 processor 3,2GHz
win 7 home premium 64.
My BIOS is from 2010 and I would think that it is the problem I face.
Is there any way to get an update to my bios?
Thanks.

@SirPen, Welcome to the ccommunity.

Checking out your PC at the german service pages and looking into the manual on page 44 (which you should have also, accompanying your PC), it says only 2x 4gb are supported.

The mainboard has 2 DIMM-sockets, for maximum 4 GB each

The BIOS automatically senses the modules size, type and speed .

Specs.:

 240-pin DIMMs with 1333 MHz / 1066 MHz

 DDR3 (unbufferd), 1.5 V

 Single- oder Double-Sided DIMM. The mainboard may be equipped with modules of different sizes, but only with identical speed (frequencies).

For optimal performance make use of the slots in following order:

 DIMM_1 + DIMM_2

Regards, daddle

Thanks Daddle.
Had more or less come to the same conclusion but nice to get it confirmed.

@SirPen

Nope, these things you can not concluden or guess, you have to know. Means you have to get the information from a validated source. Like the manual, so RTFM!
