hello, i recently bought 2x8 gigs of ram for my hp workstation z620 because my actual ram is too old. The problem is that when the new ram is installed and that I press on the power ok button the fans go crazy and nothing happens. Can anyone help ? 
here is the ram I bought : Gigastone RAM 16Go (2x8Go) DDR3-1600MHz PC3-12800 Unbuffered Non-ECC 1.5V CL11 UDIMM 240-Pin

z workstation and ZBooks are very finicky on memory.

 

If you installed memory modules that was  not guaranteed  to be compatible with your workstation, I am not surprised that you are having issues.

 

Gigastone RAM 16Go (2x8Go) DDR3-1600MHz PC3-12800 Unbuffered Non-ECC 1.5V CL11 UDIMM 240-Pin

is definitely not a mainstream brand  memory.

 

Did the vendor guarantee that it would work?

Did you happen to mix unbuffered and registered memory?

 

Kingston Memory sells guaranteed compatible memory

https://cloudninjas.com/collections/hp-z620-ram-memory-upgrade

 

Unfortunately, I no longer have a VPN to use to find guaranteed compatible memory for the z620 that is sold in France.

 

I suggest searching using  HP z620+mémoire de l'ordinateur" as search keywords to find a local source.
