I have a hp pavilion desktop but its fairly slow, (8gb ram to be precise). To solve this problem I know i must buy more ram but I don't know what the max installable ram is, and I wouldn't like to fry the motherboard while experimenting.

You did not mention your desktop model or product ID but I assume it is similar to the one @Prométhée mentioned here
https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/baker-rev-a-m11/td-p/8057538
That system has space for a pair of 8gb ram as described here
. I would advise getting the same manufacturer ram and suspect eBay will have it
You can use CPU-Z to get the manufacturer and description of the memory module. You can also take the system apart to verify and get the RAM model.

As per Baker motherboard's specs (HP Desktop PCs - Motherboard Specifications, Baker | HP® Customer Support), you can add up to 2 x 16GB DDR4 UDIMM (Unbuffered) 288-pin PC4-23400 (2933 MHz) RAM sticks.
Hope this helps.

as @NonSequitur777 wrote, you may be able to upgrade to 32gb. I suspect you can sell your existing 8gb. If you do decide to go for the larger ram be sure to use a memory finder to get the correct type. Kingston has a memory finder that is good.
Frequently the cheapest ram does not work because it uses new and higher density chips which the BIOS cannot handle.
