wrong ram installed

[RJLB]

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.

I now have a 2gb stick in slot 1.

DT PC Boots and monitor is working.

No other slots will work

Mem is on order & due in a couple days

I took out 2 sticks, mem in slot 1 & 2

Boots with monitor BUT only sees 4 gb  8 are installed.  Type here does not work

I put a sticks in 1 & 3 boots with monitor BUT only sees 4gb.  

I put a stick in 1 & 4 no boot 

I put sticks in 1 & 2 boots with monitor VERY SLOW

Used settings to see ram installed.

I do not know what to try next ......

Any Ideas????? please ...

This seems to be a slot issue.

I request you to talk to HP support.

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

@RJLB

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
