Hi @Luigimangi,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your PC!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Reseat the RAM:
- Ensure the RAM modules are properly seated in their slots. Remove the RAM modules and reinsert them, making sure they click into place securely.
Check RAM Compatibility:
- Verify that the RAM modules are compatible with your HP 14-dq0052dx model. Ensure the new RAM conforms to the specifications required for your device.
Reset CMOS:
- Reset the CMOS by removing the battery or using the motherboard jumper. This will clear any potential conflicts in the BIOS settings.
- Here’s a general guideline for resetting CMOS:
- Shut down the system and disconnect the power cord.
- Remove the chassis access panel.
- Either remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes or move the CMOS jumper from pins 2-3 to pins 1-2 and back to 2-3.
- Reconnect power and restart your computer.
Restore Default BIOS Settings:
- If you can access the BIOS, restore factory default settings. This could resolve any issues related to configuration changes:
- Turn on the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key until you enter the BIOS setup.
- Navigate to the BIOS reset options and select “Load Default Settings”.
- Save changes and exit.
Power Supply Check:
- Ensure the power supply is working correctly and all connections are secure.
Test RAM Modules:
- Test with one RAM module at a time. Insert one module in the slot and try to boot the PC. This helps identify if a particular module is faulty.
Inspect for Physical Damage:
- Check for any physical damage to the slots or modules. Bent pins or damaged slots can cause boot issues.
Use Diagnostic Tools:
- Use any available diagnostic tools provided by HP to detect hardware issues.
I hope this helps.
