Hey Dude,

   There is no list of good ram for this MB. All HP support will tell you is the type of ram that they list as OK but they do not work. I am a professional IT engineer with 20+ years experience. I have dozzens of different flavors of RAM that should work with the finiky MB but one one does as I have listed in previous posts. Save your self the stress and stop asking why. I still curse the day my CEO bought a half dozen of these systems, but I did find the right ram, and I will have to admit that the systems have been rock steady since......  Oh yeah please post kudos if you think I have helped you.

HP you are NOT giving any support ! 

This is really BAD ATTITUDE !!!

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums. I'm sorry but this is a peer-to-peer community of HP customers, and not a venue to contact HP directly. Most of the users here are consumers like yourself who are offering solutions because they like to help others, and any HP employees you see are here on their own capacity and not representing the company.

If you have additional or direct feedback for HP about their products or services, or questions about repair, you can use the link below for contact information.

Dear OrnahP not support at all for my computer . This is what I get on your website. The PC has been bought in Decemeber 2009 so it has almost 2 1/2 yers ! Should I trash it in a dump ? Maybe this is HP suggestion ? HP should give also tech assistance to his customers especially when there are problems that only HP knows exactly. Anyway ...

I can accept this as good behaviour !

Hi Toni,

 

Yes, I have tried Samsung and Kingston PC3-10600U with 09-10-B0 timing, and everything was OK. But, I also bought Crucial PC3-10600U RAM through crucial's web site that guaranteed it to work but it did not work. The timing was 09-10-A0. They took the ram back but I was out the return shipping costs. Be carefull not to buy any ram unless you see the sticker on it showing the 09-10-BO. You have to understand that HP built this motherboard with the cheapest chipsets they could, so the BIOS only works with that timing where all the other MB use a chipset that will sync to many different timing configurations. My co-workers think that HP did this with a strange timing configuration so people would be forced to buy their ram from HP.

I finally found a solution!  Ordered the original RAM from a dude in Singapore on Ebay.  Completely ridiculous that I had to go that route but luckily they worked.  I'd ordered several sticks from Crucial, Newegg and my friend that owns a repair shop tried about 20 different sticks.  None worked even though they should.  The crappy part is that HP tells you the support is via this message board since they don't offer any info on the specs page (that's correct anyway) and they have no bios updates.  

 

So moderator, you stand corrected, I was told repeatedly that this is where HP support happens.  So I'm glad I have mine running again with 6GB but I think we can all agree that we will never order from HP ever again.  Used to be a good company, too bad...
