Hello,

I bought 8x8gb ddr3 1600 mhz ram for my hp z 420, installed the ram, and it now won't power on with 5 long beeps.

Im wondering if my processor supports this its E5-1607 V1 ( i ordered E5 1650 v2 and tried to install but won't work because HP is shit, and it has a boot block from the year 2011) .

Any ideas?

Thanks

I know the error code indicated a ram problem, but this ram was labeled specifically for hp z420 on the listing on Amazon.

is the ram not seated proper? Does my CPU not support this ? Does HP also have a boot block on upgrading Ram? WTF is going on
