In this case you can try reseating the memory module to ensure proper contact with the slot. You can try removing memory modules one by one and test the laptop with just one memory module installed. You can try replacing the memory module with the new module. If reseating / replacing a memory module does not help, try to remove the hard drives, DVD drives, modems, wireless card, keyboard, etc ...
