I have installed 2X512 memory modules in my laptop DEll Inspiron 5100 this upgraded from 2×256 After installation I got a blank screen. I then installed each card in the slots individually to prove the viability of each card, still a blank screen. Then I re-installed the original memory, Laptop ok.
Contacted Crucial support who tell me I must upgrade my BIOS to solve the problem.
My question is ,is this normal and how safe is it, to, what I beleive is called, “flash the BIOS”

Bernard
