@Janis5,

Welcome to our peer-to-peer HP Community Forum!

Your HP Pavilion 590-p0024 Desktop PC (3LA53AA), as per: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05939208, can support up to 2 x 16GB of DDR4 PC4-19200, 2400 MHz, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, DIMM (UDIMM), 288-pin RAM sticks, such as this quality dual-rank RAM kit: https://www.amazon.com/Timetec-PC4-19200-Non-ECC-Unbuffered-Computer/dp/B072R2X7CQ/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3....

@Janis5,

In case you got a single 8GB RAM stick installed, you could purchase an identical (matching) 8GB RAM stick to double your RAM.

So, let's find out what you got: type in: cmd in your Windows search bar, right-click on the Command Prompt App, and left-click on: "Run as administrator", and confirm if asked for.

Then copy/paste/enter:

wmic memorychip get devicelocator, manufacturer, partnumber, capacity, speed, memorytype, formfactor

You should see something like this -using my HP ZBook Firefly as an example:

You should see the part number(s).  If it is the case that you got 2 x 4GB RAM sticks, you should at least upgrade to 2 x 8GB RAM, such as this quality purchase example: Crucial RAM 16GB Kit (2x8GB) DDR4 2400 MHz CL17 Desktop Memory CT2K8G4DFS824A, Green/Black at Amazon....
