The wrong ram was installed. 

The original 6gb (3) sticks have been put back. 

Desktop PC turns on, but now there is no monitor. 

Screen stays black.  HP w2338h.

Have I damaged the motherboard??

Is there any hope here??

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

Check ram in different slots, one at a time and check if it boots

 

Let me know how it goes.

This seems to be a slot issue.

I request you to talk to HP support.

They might have multiple options to help you with this.

  1. Click on this link - https://support.hp.com/us-en/contact-hp?openCLC=true
  2. Select the country.
  3. Enter the serial of your device.
  4. Select the country from the drop-down.
  5. Click on "Show Options".
  6. Fill the web-form. A case number and phone number will now populate for you.

Let me know how it goes.

I went to the first option register product & 

Site "Not available "

The auto diag stuff does not help 

There is a HP center in Los gatos I call later

For me that is only 60 miles away

Yes, you can try that option and let me know how it goes.

Hp repair did not help and suggested I contact crucial.com.  I did.  They had me remove the Battery and reboot after 15 min.

No Joy!  Same as before.  Their next suggestion was to to a factory recovery process.  I did no joy!  I ended up with a very old win 7.  and after hours of up dates I finally got win installed.  Still NO JOY!  2 sticks in and only socket 1 is working.  Also only one monitor.  I called Geek Squad and they are having me take it in on mon 8/3.

 

Thanks all for you help and suggestions  

 

I'm done
