isnt that ecc memory?

usually desk tops take non ecc memory though dont know what pc you have

Are you adding the RAM while the computer is turned on? Your phrasing makes it sound as if that is what you are doing.

If you are don't do that. Turn off the computer before adding memory. Then boot it.

sorry the make of your pc was in your link

i think you bought ecc memory instead of non ecc memory?

In the name of that memory module is 1RX8. In the manual for that computer:
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=4047714&docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-c01942289

page 6:

"DIMMs constructed with x8 and x16 DDR devices; DIMMs constructed with x4 SDRAM are not
supported"

Also, google searches seem to indicate that the other posts are correct about you buying ECC memory, which is definitely not supported.

Sorry, but it would seem that you bought the wrong memory module. You need to make absolutely sure that you have identical modules in both memory slots on the motherboard. Also note that memory modules that did not come together in a kit are never guaranteed to work together even if both are similar and individually supported by the motherboard. You should buy a 2x2GB kit meant for your computer if you want 4GB of RAM.

Does the preinstalled memory module have a sticker on it and if so, what does the sticker say?

Also note that you must shutdown the computer, unplug it completely, and wait at least 30 seconds before changing internal components. This is also stated in the manual. Changing internal components while the computer is plugged in, let alone turned on, can cause permanent damage to the computer.

doesnt specifically say but looks like it says compatible with all motherboards so guess thats what they mean

isnt your original 1066mhz though?

It's a very easy to accidentally order ECC RAM since many computer users don't even know what ECC RAM is since its usually used for server class equipment (Xeons, etc). I've also noticed some online shopping sites don't even mention it; meaning you have to look it up by model number.

DDR3-1333 is PC3-10600, that might be what you meant.
