I need the motherboard layout for an Acer Aspire M5100. Thanks.

Here's an online manual for you Acer Aspire M5100 Manuals

Part Number: MB.ABK02.001

You can as long s you have room on the motherboard, its the correct type. Memory can be tricky to get it to be recognized and have the system ecognize it. Most issues are with the OS, especially any Windows based system, thanks to Microsoft's usual nonsense.

Check the temperature of the CPU in Bios. It is probably higher than the Safe temperature and it gets into shut down mode to protect itself.
Open it, detach the cooler from the CPU and clean it, detach the CPU from the socket, clean the paste from the top, put a new one, clean the socket and put everything back. It should work perfectly.
If you need further assistance, just leave a comment. Cheers

Your laptop is most likely very similar to the 7720, the pdf of the manual and layout is on their website at:

Try to check all the connection at the back of your pc,, try to unplug and open your cpu case,,, Maybe your Power cord is not properly installed .. find the power supply port in the motherboard and try to check it again if it is properly installed

MBABE02001 It doesnt have a name. they sell them here http://www.notebooksolutions.ca/zc/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1724

I had the same problem, the most likely factor is that your motherboard doesn't support that CPU's either FSB or L2 or whatever. Just find a CPU with the same FSB as your old one and that one will work.
