The problem :
I bought this laptop about 2 or 3 weeks ago and been using it. Its working and the graphics is very fast and nice.
The weather has been not good and temperatures around 25-30 celsius inside and ive had to use the turbo fan most of the time.
But I dont think heat is the reason why the memory started giving errors.
Last thing I did was put the computer to standby (sleep function in windows 7) and went to sleep at night and woke in the morning - after waking up, started a game, it crashed and many times in a row.
I figured out which of the memories is broken by using Memtest86 from a livecd and took the faulty memory out.
I had opened the laptop before and broken the paper seal - because I have a SSD. I took the sodimm stick out and also tested it in another laptop - memtest errors there too.
Now after taking the memory out everything works as it should.
The question :
What is the right thing to do next?
What is the best thing to do when I cannot afford to give my laptop back for a month or more?
I have the broken sodimm on my table and the other one I can replace with another pair of ddr3's that are compatible.
Any way I can more easily get them serviced, because I've determined the problem.
I have the details about the memory, laptop and everything needed - the memories are from Elixir and are in a Kit thus the serial numbers are exactly the same. I can post some of that here if needed.
I dont expect any service on saturday or sunday tho... so I guess Ill be off to do my things...
