    New here...
    I've been trying to upgrade my NP-RF710-S02US to 8gig of RAM from the factory installed 4gig, however i keep getting the BSD (Blue screen of Death) upon entering Windows7. I love this netbook and use it a lot. So i decided to upgrade but I am having problems. It runs great with 6gig of RAM but not 8gig, please advise? hardware lock?

    Standard specs:
    4GB DDR3

    ...using the Crucial 4GB DDR3 PC3-8500 204-pin SODIMM

    Not stable with the 6gig installed either, getting BSOD also.
