I have an i9 hp g4 z4 and I'm trying to install 4x16gb ram. I bought these: DDR4-3200 • CL=22 • NON-ECC • UDIMM • 288-pin • 1.2V • 2Rx8 • PC4-25600. I have 8 ram slots. I tried putting them in alternate slots, black ones, from the front but doesn't work. Tried all four in first four, doesn't work. Tried alternate black and white slots, doesn't work. I get 3 bleeps red, and two white. F10 won't open bios from here, just a black screen. Any clues?

Got a link to the rams you've purchased? Per this;

the most your platform can recognize while on that i9 processor is 256GB DDR4-2933MHz

Did you make sure your prebuilt's motherboard is on the latest BIOS version?
I watched that and installed as shown but still not working
 
Well after a lot of faffing around online, it's looking like this machine won't take 3200mhz ram. I thought I might be able to enable xmp in the bios but can't find anything in there for the ram. Seems without xmp, only 2666mhz works with i9 7900x series.
