not able to install windows in t410

#1 Post by Madmadytriesfixinghislap » Thu Nov 30, 2023 3:46 am

Hi, I've just installed a new ssd and ram on my ThinkPad t410. When I tried to clean install a new windows nothing happens. It just shows a ThinkPad logo and reboots. Anything I'm doing wrong here?

Welcome to the forum. :)
Sorry to hear about your issue. SSD/RAM may be bad or incompatible in this case, given you just replaced it...

Which RAM module(s) did you install? T410 is known not to work with certain/all LP-DDR3 modules.
Thinkpad 25 (20K7), T16 Gen 3 (21MQ), Yoga 14 (20FY), T430s (IPS FHD + Classic Keyboard), X220 4291-4BG

Hi ,
I'm using 2x4 Gb, DDR3 1600mhz pc3L ram and a TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z 512gb SATA ssd. Here are both of their Amazon links -

My guess is the RAM is incompatible. T410 needs PC3, not PC3L.

Is the windows installer setup as MBR or EFI? T410 doesn't have EFI.

I agree with dr_st. I put new RAM and SSD on T410 recently, it works.
