Hi,
I have an HP 8100 Elite SFF which has Windows 7 Pro 64bits and 2GB of RAM. The original RAM is the Samsung 2GB 1Rx8 PC3-10600.
i bought 8GB (2x4) of Kingston KTH9600BS/4G (http://www.kingstonmemorycards.co.uk/kingston-4gb-ddr3-dell-dimm-ram-memory-module-kth9600b-4g). On the Kingston site I saw that the KTH9600B/4G is compatible with the desktop, I don't know that the final "S" on this new model is.. (http://www.kingston.com/en/memory/search/discontinuedmodels/Default.aspx?DeviceType=2&Mfr=HEW&Line=Elite&Model=61514&Description=Kingston_for_HEW_Elite_HP/Compaq_-_Elite_8100_SFF/_Convt_Minitower).
I remove the original one and added these two modules. The PC starts and the BIOS detects the 8GB of RAM. So far so good... but then Windows 7 just won't start, it appears the black screen with the Windows logo but the "animation" that usually appear while loading, doesn't appear. I've tried safe mode but it also doesn't work, get's stuck at one of the files..
Any idea on how to solve this? I've tried also with only one of the new kingstons but then I get a blue screen...
Regards
