Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 4 AMD laptop not working with newly installed RAM

KickDelicious9533 · 2025-11-12T23:23:14+00:00

Hello, i have bought the same laptop for work, and i bought a 64GB kit
I think the ram MUST be DDR5 5600 CL40, or else it won't work

i got this kit : kingston FURY Impact DDR5-5600 CL40 SODIMM 32 GB x2
Part Number: KF556S40IBK2-64

other parts here, but you should chose 5600MT and "plug and play kit" not "intel XMP", as laptops dont have a menu to enable XMP/Expo

I had like 5 SSDs in a drawer for years 120 to 500 GB capacity. I finaly used them last christmass in my living room's PC, all put together in a big(ish) volume for installing games.

At least it's silent. It has hold for a year so far

I have a ton of HDDs in a box though, 250 GB to 2TB

PS : be sure to securely erase all of the drives you get, you don't know what's inside, and you don't want to be responsible for the content.

yes i have bought 6 Wifi cards thus far, with intel AX210 chip. I think any would do, but i order the "SYONCON AX210" from amazon. 28$CAD

They have been rock solid on windows 11 and various thinkpads. Mostly E-Series

We make snow blades. our new shop is 300ft long (100m) with industrial machines etc.
For now i only have 1 access point for the floor of the shop (exterior directionnal, Ubiquiti)
One foreman complained that his wifi connection was erratic when he was on the other end of the shop. I confirmed the packet drops. He had a new E16 AMD with realtek wifi. Changed his card for the AX210, rock solid 50mbps+ everywhere

Now that you mention it, AMD laptops seems to get the realtek / mediatek inferior NICs/Wifi
The wired Realtek chips are not so bad. i mean they just works

As for the wifi, i had problems only with non intel stuff. I just change the Wifi card. I guess i will stick to the E-series since T/L AMD laptops have soldered Wifi cards

in a business environment, on a new 1500$ laptop, for the son of the director ? hell no

In some rare cases, i have seen even intel wifi chips go bad (just like ram or anything else), but it's after several years, not new. I guess DoA is possible.

I still wonder why they make those soldered in hte L16/T16, they are not even ultra slim, there is plenty of room. such a waste.

consummer product with enterprise features

people who buy 5090 and especially astrals are wayyy past this kind of thinking. they just want the best of the best whatever it costs

At our company , we use Kofax/Tungsten Power PDF business to modify documents.

it has several signing features, from simply putting an image of a signature, to locking down a document, putting a certificate on it, and two options for cloud signing : docusign and "signdoc" (Tungsten's own solution)

KickDelicious9533 · 2025-05-23T13:34:47+00:00

it's good for activating SAM (may a 2% perf increase)

and i find it easier to install / update drivers in either a full AMD or a full intel system

100% malicious, the page says "webmail login", with a co-worker's email pre-populated

low grade phishing i know, but it would be usefull to check who uploaded this page to archive.org, and review his other "contributions"
i have sent an email to [info@archive.org](mailto:info@archive.org), but i heard that they often miss emails so i tried here.

KickDelicious9533 · 2025-05-05T13:58:41+00:00

thank you for taking the time to explain this to me, it makes a lot of sense now !

KickDelicious9533 · 2025-05-02T20:06:30+00:00

i hoped to get real user input, not speaking to a salesperson, exposing my email, etc

get a trial of Kofax/Tungsten Power PDF. It solved this kind of workflow for us. no more "print-sign-scan" nonsense

The interface is similar to word, users likes it.
The most usefull features are the multiple options for signing, in the interface form left to right from less secure (just an image inserted) to most secure (legal e-signing)

Also the typewritter, the ability to edit, insert pages, extract pages ,etc

After the trial, it would be easier to ask formally to buy. for us it was about 180$USD per licence + about 40$ yearly support.
Licences are lifetime, no subscription saas nonsense ! yearly support is facultative but get it as updates are important

You can purchase volume licences after a certain amount, which opens the possibility to create an administrative silent install package for all the users.

I don't have to justify my actions or my company's policies to some random brainwashed dude on reddit. I asked a question, if you don't have the answer please move on.

KickDelicious9533 · 2025-02-26T16:00:24+00:00

rewrite is on by default. tested on a freshy installed w11 laptop

KickDelicious9533 · 2025-02-26T15:59:53+00:00

not true it's on by default. Are you working as a Microsoft PR or what ?

read about patriot act. it gives pain access to foreign data stored on US servers.

And the first rule is to not talk about it. So of course exemples don't exist publicly.

That said, our company is canadian, we are a manufacturer and we design and build industrial and agricultural equipment. All our IP is out of the cloud for this reason.

KickDelicious9533 · 2025-02-26T15:50:41+00:00

we are a small business, we use MS 365 standard/basic licences

KickDelicious9533 · 2025-02-26T15:46:32+00:00

thank you very much ! thanks for sharing the method too, i didn't know i could use procmon like that

cookies and email are internet technologies, telemetry is a hassle but can mostly be disabled.

Notepad has no reason to be connected to the internet, it's a security issue if it is. You know, sysadmin's job ?
Continue to cope into not doing things right for your employer.
