Hello,
I just purchased DDR3 memory, (2x4 for a total of 8 gigabytes) to replace the 3 gigabytes in my HP 2000-299WM laptop. According to the HP website, this laptop is capable of a maximum of 8 gigs.
When I went to install the two new items, the laptops display would not work. I could hear the disk drive move and the power button would appear on, yet, it was just a black screen.
I looked around across the internet and found others with this problem, but I haven't really found a definitive answer, especially in my scenario.
I tried updating my bios, but that did not work.
Not surprisingly, when I put the old 3 gigabytes of ram back in, it worked just fine.
I would really like to upgrade this laptop like the HP website said I could. Please help!
Thanks!
