Upgrade memory Acer Aspire 5552

Hello

I just upgraded to 4 GB of RAM 8 GB on my Aspire 5552. But when I display the properties of the system that it has detected 8.00 GB of RAM, but only 3.74 GB is used. How can I activate the rest of the extra memory I added?

The RAM I installed is accompanied by 8 GB of PC3 - 12800 DDR3 - 1600 RAM, consisting of 2 x 4 GB SODIMM laptop computer Ramaxel.
The RAM in BIOS is showing only 8192 MB total memory with 256 MB of video memory.

Acer Tech support advised the following:

1. click on start, type msconfig in the search programs and files, and then click msconfig in the list programs.

2. in the System Configuration window, click Advanced on the start tab.

3 clear the maximum memory check box, and then click OK.

4 restart the computer.

When I checked msconfig memory Maximum option was already unchecked. I tried to check (this is the value of 8192) and reboot, but no change then I unchecked and restarted again, but still only 3.74 GB are available.

Acer technical support are now run out of ideas. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I found the answer...

"" in the start menu > msconfig > boot > advanced > make sure number of cores is 2 you have a dual core processor ' "

I don't know if it was a simple thing that it was assumed that I already knew that, but I didn't and now I do, and I 7.74 GB of memory can be used.

Thanks for all the help.

  • Just did the upgrade of Windows 10. Think I need drivers for ACER ASPIRE 5552?

    Hi guys

    I'm helping a friend get his ACER ASPIRE 5552 work fine with Windows 10.

    We took a bet that the W7 to W10 upgrade would be ok, but we hit a few glitches to overcome.

    We want to back up as soon as possible once it working properly.

    1.

    Can anyone tell me please where I can get the right driver for Ethernet and WifI because wifi now seems to work fine.

    2.

    But there are ALSO all the other drivers who have updated the 5552 have found it necessary to download and install - for example Chipset, sounds, etc...?  .... Of course, it makes sense that ask us those who've already done...

    3.

    In addition, she has a HP printer, which now does not seem to communicate. I guess we have to go to the site of HP and DOWNLOAD - except - are there known problems?

    Thanks in advance for any help guys

    Agreed. Now, I suggest that you first check the Win10 Device Manager and note devices and models numbers that seem to have problems. Because the laptop has more working network adapters, you must do a google search from another computer for updated Win10 drivers that you can download for each device problem. For some systems, this can be a long and formidable process. If it were mine, I would upgrade to Win 7 as fast as I could.

  • Problem with my Acer Aspire 5552-5686 and 5.1 Audio HDMI

    Hi all, I recently bought a SONY HT-SS380 Home Theatre, and I tried to connect it to my Acer Aspire 5552-5686 by HDMI port. (I have Windows 7).

    My problem is that I have can´t set up the laptop to use more than 2 channels (stereo). I ve been looking around the internet and there seems to be a common problem with this computer, but I can´t understand why or how to fix it.

    I ve tried to install the latest Realtek Audio drivers, the Catalyst Control Center, some Audio HDMI of ATI drivers. I Don t know what else to try!

    Any help?

    Thank you very much!

    This isn't the audio chipset of this system, which I listed above.

    The audio chipset to send the data in 5.1 surround.  The HDMI port would support, if it was sent.

    It is not sent in this way, I listed above.

  • Acer Aspire 5552 no lan or wireless detected

    Trying to work on a pc of the friends, which does not recognize the built in lan or wireless. Device Manager is a material no display wireless or lan. PC running Windows 7, and is now updated on all Windows updates. He recognizes a usb wireless adapter, but has no idea that there is a wireless network and integrated lan, no way to turn, because as windows knows, this pc does not have.  In addition, using a point of restoration after the last time that the owner was on-line, that oldest available, does not change the problem

    Device Manager can't find the material, while showing hidden devices so I'm Virgin to know where to find the drivers and how to uninstall them.

    As above: Some Acers also have a wireless connection, button on / off, so make sure it is not disabled there. I'm not sure if your model or not, but check to see if it is disabled there. It may be "Fn" + "F key" or a real hard switch (that I had on my Acer).

    Alternatively, if this isn't the case, Acer handed incompatible drivers before, you have a 32 or 64-bit?

    I know that this LAN update fixed a few problems of the people in the past who had problems of compatibility with the Acer Aspire 5552-7474, then perhaps you can try try this.

    So, it's a 2 GB module and one 4 GB. Different manufacture.

    My question is:

    What are the maximum size (GB) and speed (MHZ) that supports this laptop? And should I upgrade with two modules of the same size, or can I have 1 module with the maximum allowed size? For example, 2x4gb or 1x8GB?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Kind regards.

    In fact, you have 2 sticks of memory 667 MHz. In dual channel, it means to 1333 MHz.

    Specifications of aspire V3 - 571 G-9686:

    Chipset: Mobile Intel HM77 Express.

    Processor: Intel Core i7-3632QM

    Integrated graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M - 2 GB RAM DDR3

    You can upgrade up to 8 GB (2x4gb) and Max frequency 1600 MHz. For example: If you install a single stick of 4 GB - 1600 MHz, it is single-channel: 1600/2 = 800 MHz.

  • Acer aspire 5552. Battery / bios update

    I have an Acer Aspire 5552on whose battery is a failure. I bought a new battery, but the laptop will not recognize the new battery. The provider says my bios needs updating. My bios is acer v2.05 17/11/2010. Downloads of the bios on the website do not include v2.05. where can I find this update of the bios?

    I am sure the sellers claim. Some batteries cheap may not be recognized by the laptop. I got lucky with AGPtek, PWR + and Anker.

    If you want to upgrade the Bios, I would go to the most recent. Make sure your battery is fully charged, maintain the power of the connected, read everything carefully, because you will.

  • Upgrade an acer aspire 5517...

    I was planning to upgrade my aspire 5517 because it's too slow for me.

    Upgrade from 2 GB to 4 GB would actually improve performance that much?

    If I upgrade the cpu can I put a tl-58 or tl - 64?

    I was wondering if the 64 would be too much heat. I read that the idle temp guys was 55 c. (in my opinion, is a bit much)

    Thank you...

    You could try a TL58 stalk or even higher, if you don't keep it crawls up to 100% for hours, you won't have to worry about the heat.

    4G of RAM would be nice too, 2 G is marginal for Win7

    An SSD would give you a boost real speed, try to replace the DVD with a HARD drive caddy and you have SSD + HDD, plenty of space and speed. You could have a 60 GB SSD and any HARD drive, you now have. Don't forget to check before that your DVD is SATA.

    Went to the store to pick up a 2 GB and they were all, but the sales guy gave me a 4 GB DDR3.  The Geeks were all busy, and I had no time to wait, so I brought home and decided to research.  I find nothing on a 4GB for this model.  No one knows if it will make a difference.  They are apparently the same size. Now, I have windows 10 on mine and have need of more memory.

    The 4GB will not work and neither will DDR3.

  • Acer Aspire V3 - 574G memory larger than 8 GB update

    I use my laptop for multitasking and sometimes heavy programming. Most of the time I use always completely to the top of my 8 GB of RAM. I tore down the laptop within the first hour of the purchase and I can only find 2 slots (1 free slot, 1 slot with an 8 GB stick).

    I intend to pass this to 16 GB but I have my doubts since then:

    1. I tried to attach an extra 4 GB from another laptop (different freq, always DDR3). He started, CPU - Z can detect the extra RAM, but the system is not using it (always on the 8 GB).

    -J' tried to use only the key of 4 GB and I think it is inconsistent, because the system does not start.

    2. I used pre-shaping memory Crucial level and there is a note that says "* should not exceed the memory manufacturer supported." All the options, it did not exceed 8GB.

    Adding another 8 GB will work? If this is not the case, how can I bypass the 8 GB limit by using an easy way? (I don't mind modding BIOS).
