I have a Dell Inspiron Mini 1012, and bought a memory upgrade for it. It is the Dell 2GB module for it. I installed it, went into BIOS, checked that it shows up and is recognized, and all is well. HOWEVER, as soon as it tries to boot into Windows, the little rolling progress bar will show up for a second, then the screen goes black. nothing. I can boot into Safe Mode, but not in normal mode. What gives?? What can I do to fix this? It has Windows 7 Home Premium on it.

Hi xfile102,
Insert the memory. Turn on the system and start tapping F12 for One Time Boot Menu. Select Utility Partition and hit enter. Select “Test Memory” and wait for the test to complete.
If the test passes and system still does not boot in normal mode, restart the system in safe mode and peform SFC scan. Please refer to the link mentioned below for more information:
