Memory upgrade

My boyfriend tried to add additional memory to my new Inspiron 14.  The card was purchased at Best Buy as a match, but all the laptop does when installed is beep.  Does additional memory have to be purchased through Dell only?

Thank you

No. 

It sounds like that the additional memory, is not compatible with the !nspiron 14.

Best to go to http://www.crucial.com/  to find memory that will be compatible with your Inspiron 14 and use either Crucial's Advisor Tool, or their System Scanner.

If you can provide to me the specific Inspiron 14 model (1440, 1464, etc) , I can provide the validated Dell memory part numbers, memory specifications, and possible links to purchase it.
