hello guys ,
i had a laptop having i3-3110m processor , with 4gb of ram in single slot ,
after that i needed a more memory , so i upgrade to 12gb by buying 8gb ddr3 ram of Gskill,
after installed it showed 12gb of ram in laptop in dual channel ,( sucessfully)
but everytime i get SCREEN's DISPLAY MALFUNCTION and it hangs with Zigzaged ugly display ..
what can be done? i checked everything for compatibility before buying RAM's Mhz ( both having 1600mhz ) ,CAS latency (both having 11) . it is a known type of error ? OR My RAM is defective ?
O.S of laptop = win 8 64 bit

Please check Screen shots for every detail of my laptop with processor and BOTH memory slots description.

My mobo having FLEX technology , it allows different size of RAMS in dual channel....
Is it like ideal to have High amount of RAM in 1st slot and less amount of ram in 2nd slot???
like i having 4gb ram in 1st slot and 8gb in 2nd slot... SHUD I change this to 8gb in 1st slot and 4gb in 2nd slot

You're mixing RAM manufacturers, so make sure you set the timings of each individual stick to what it says on the package. The only other possible solution I can think of is updating your BIOS, maybe this "Flex" technology isn't working and you need to re-flash.

BTW how to "SET TIMINGS for both RAMS"
As long as you use the right BIOS file and the power doesn't go out while you're flashing, you should be fine. You have to go into the memory settings in your BIOS and it will have a section with RAM timings. You can read them from the package your RAM came in, and then make sure they are the same as in the BIOS.

"Flashing" means writing new data to the BIOS. You can download the latest BIOS file from your motherboard manufacturer's website and then place the file on a USB drive. Then you can insert the USB drive before booting, enter the BIOS, and use the built-in flashing utility to write the new BIOS onto your board. This is a laptop though, so I'm not sure if you will even be able to flash, laptop BIOS's are typically very constricted. You should figure out if you can change the timings for each individual RAM stick first, this is likely the problem.

I'm not sure about that, you'll have to do some research into your manufacturer's warranty conditions.
