Is this RAM compatible with my motherboard

this is my motherboard

and this is the memory I want to buy

my HP computer came with 6 GB of Kingston ram, but a year or so ago I knocked something off my desk and it hit inside of my case...I had the side panel off...this made my computer turn off and when I tried to turn it back on it wouldn't boot up, and after removing a 2GB ram module it powered up, but when I went to put it in another slot it wouldn't power back on til I removed it.....so I don't know if it was the RAM module that was dead or my other two RAM slots got fried......so I am taking the chance on buying a new module since 4GB total is bottle necking me hard in gaming.

my worry is that this is a different module compared to the other two and won't work.

I got two sticks of this in my motherboard right now

Well before you buy the RAM stick, make sure your slots work. You can do this by putting the RAM stick in each slot and starting it up. So Slot 1, start it up. Good? Power down. Move down to Slot 2, and start it up...etc. If it powers up on all four tests, then you are good. If it fails once, then you know that slot is bad. It's tedious, but it's great to make sure the slots work.

But to answer your question, yes that DDR3 will fit inside of the motherboard.

alright I'll give that a try and see if one or both slots are dead, and I guess if both are I can always just remove one of my 2GB modules and add the 4GB one to give 6GB again.

thanks.
