In reply to Nick.

Dang! Sorry to hear you had the same trouble, @Nick. But I’m also thrilled to hear that my facepalm story nudged you to try reseating the RAM again. It hadn’t really occurred to me that there might be a problem that extended beyond my machine, but if more than a few of us have had similar experiences, then it sure could be a design issue.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Hope the machine serves you well for a long time to come now that you’ve got more RAM. Cheers!

TL; DR: I have exactly the same laptop and exactly the same issue, fixed it in exactly the same way OP did, never have I ever had such a problematic RAM slot on a laptop.

Jesus Christ, this must be a widespread issue with the top slot of Gateway NV57H, because I have been sitting here for an hour thinking what the hell went wrong with disassembly and assembly of this laptop, thinking that i might have somehow killed the top memory slot when I were cleaning off the old thermal compound off of CPU. But then i came across your article, read your story, saw your picture of the RAM slots and how the RAM sticks are seated in and in fact the top stick were sitting a bit further out of the slot than it should. I tried putting the stick in this same slot probably 10 or more times before i read your article, i tried to jack it in properly one more time and it actually got in. Never have I have encountered such a specific memory slot issue on a laptop, they usually always jack in easily and properly from the first-second try, but this laptop for some reason decided to give me a headache. Thank you for making me reseat the ram

Mine has a really rigid ram slot. I’m afraid to push and force it harder. The laptop itself has an awfully designed ram slot

In reply to Johnny Vegas. I'm sorry for the wasted time, Johnny. I've made the TL;DR even larger than it was before and added a yellow background so it will be highlighted. Sorry that didn't jump out at you more. I hope you got your RAM slot fixed up.
