try voltage. that's what the main problem would be.
and i think i had kingston memory 1333 up to 1620 or so before. ill see what it does when i get my laptop back later this week.
I have to take the motherboard out to see the rest of the board. I have narrowed it down to the side facing the keyboard and the general location, but .... ... do I really want to do this? I'll decide tomorrow.
Default is 1.029v under load according to the multimeter. There is a huge vdroop though. Default idle voltage is 1.19v. If I could find out more information on the circuitry, I would try to do a vdroop mod instead.
