HI,firstly look at your ram sticks,check they are both the same and are 4 gb running,see if they are Korea 07 2gb 2Rx8 PC3-10600U-9-10-BO, ive tried other ram sticks i just get 2 tone beeps except for the one just mentioned,there has to bee 2gb each max 2 sticks(obviously)but 4 gb is min and 2 of the ones mentioned,plus they could be other types,ie same model Korea 08or 09 perhaps or even Korea 03 but i know the ones above they work,i thought after trying so many things that i had put the wrong core back in when the beeps didnt ring so cheap as well brilliant upgrade,in the beginning it may stutter then fling the processes out instantly a site to be seen in its self but mine disappeared after the first day now work as it should little interference other than waiting for internet channels but nothing new there ,hope it helps ,bye.

after going through all the useless thing s and round in circles with hp to find out that 2 rams that work the pc s in both original spots didnt work as one with the other or a combo of them selves ive just tried either mixes in either slot just got beeps on them (anyone know why)so now the things is a rest ,just a matter of finding the same ram sticks thanks.
