I got a HP 15-ay011nr recently. It had the DDR4 2133 in it. I bought https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313719

It has the same timings, speed, and voltage. CPU ID shows the RAM and that it is in dual channel. So does Windows System and Task Manager. Unfortunately, when I go to Intel HD graphics properties it still shows 8GB available memory and in HW monitor when I'm gaming the Mhz never goes over 0. Also the computer restarts extremely slow now and my fps in games is half as good or even worse.

I updated the BIOs, uninstalled and reinstalled the Intel HD graphics drivers and am currently running memtest but there don't seem to be any problems. Does anyone know how I can fix this issue or troubleshoot further?

I appreciate the help.

I've installed extra RAM in two computer before and didn't have to do anything for it to work flawlessly.
 
Not sure what happened. After running memtest for 2 hours with no problems it started working better apparently. My FPS went up 10-50% depending on the game but restart times did still slow a bit or maybe I'm paranoid.
