Hi guys
i have a fairly old HP PC, it’s fine for what I use it for
The Motherboard comes as standard with 2 x 2GB DDR2 800mhz 240 pin, giving me 4GB, it’s Windows 10 Home 64 Bit…
i can put a total of 16GB in it
(4 x 4GB DDR2)
My motherboard is here
https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c01635734
I bought 2 new 4GB Rams and put them in it alongside the existing 2 x 2GB Rams already installed, so could have had a total of 12GB, i turnt my PC on, I can hear it’s on but just get a blank screen and it freezes… when I removed the new Ram, the PC works fine….. but stuck with the existing 4GB!
I thought maybe the new ram is faulty?
what if my remove the existing 2 x 2GB Rams and leave the 2 new 4GB Rams in, i done that and it worked fine and PC booted up with no issue, so I now have 8GB of ram in 2 slots, with 2 slots empty which I want to fill with the same 2 rams
the new Ram is this exact one
4GB 800MHz Memory Module, 240 Pin RAM DDR2 Large Capacity Memory Module Fast Data Transmission Memory Module for AMD https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B093ZM28K7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_NJJTVXEJY4V1PDPP1YQY
I then received another stick of 4GB ram with exactly the same spec, but this time it was just a different brand because I couldn’t find anymore of the same brand as I’d bought… I put this new ram in and nope! PC froze again….
Here is the ram I bought

Any ideas Why I’m having all these issues?
do you have to use exactly the same brand of ram?
why does the existing ram not work with my new ram, but then works when I remove the new ram ?
AARRRRGGHHHHHHH
