Expand RAM

[frankdarwin]

Hello,
I have an OMEN bv HP Desktop PC - 880-106ng with currently 16 GB RAM and would like to upgrade it to 32 GB RAM.
The current configuration looks like this:

I have already tried different RAM modules, but I always get 3 peep tones after botting. 3 x long and 3 times short.

What should I look for when buying the modules?

I have oriented myself to the description of the board. But I do not really understand this.

At the support of HP I get no help. The warranty has expired. Or does anyone have an idea how I can get support from HP even after the warranty period?

Its specs

           https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05841743

which says

• Dual channel (2 DIMMs per channel) memory architecture
• Four DDR4 UDIMM (288-pin) sockets
• Supports PC4-19200 (DDR4-2400)
• Supports 4 GB and 8 GB DDR4 UDIMMs
• Supports up to 4 GB on 32-bit systems

  note:

  32-bit systems cannot address a full 4.0 GB of memory.

• Supports up to 32 GB (unbuffered) on 64-bit computers

Crucial says it has compatible RAM

Hello banhien,

thank you for the quick reply.
I still have 2 questions:
Can I install the module Crucial 16GB DDR4-2666 UDIMM, CT16G4DFD8266, in addition to the existing modules in slot 3?

Do the slots always have to be equipped in pairs or can one slot remain free?

Using pair system will normally run using dual channels architecture w/o pair, it will run as single channel. It can run with one slot.
