BSOD (Kernel Security Check Failure) after upgrading RAM of two laptop
I have two old laptops, Acer Aspire 5470 and Toshiba Satellite C660.
On both the links you can see the maximum RAM supported is 8 GB. So I got two 8 GB sticks, these ones to be specific:
DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM
And I removed the old 2 GB sticks.
When I put either of the RAM chips into both of the laptops, I get a BSOD saying "Kernel Security Check Failure" 3 seconds after seeing the Windows logo.
Interchanging the RAM chips causes the same issue on both laptops.
I have an All-In-One PC which has the same RAM type, so I put them in those to check if they were working, and both RAMs were working fine and Windows 10 booted up normally.
In the BIOS, I can see installed RAM as 8 GB but Windows keeps crashing when trying to boot. I even decided to reinstall Windows using the latest ISO but when I USB boot, I get the same BSOD right after the Windows logo.
Am I doing something wrong? Did I miss something? Did I buy the wrong chip?
