So stupid auto-save. Whatever. Hello, Erico. Originally i have i Crucial 4GB with 3200 MHz, but the processor understands only 2400 MHz. Thats amount of RAM was small for me, so i deciced to buy a second RAM from ADATA (It has a 2666 Mhz and 4GB, in total i got a 8GB of RAM, but! Vega 8 Graphics took from me a 2GB and Windows also took from me 1 GB, because of that i had only 5GB of RAM free, which also was small and created perfomance problems. For example in Minecraft i got 60 or even lower FPS, V-Sync is off). I never deleted or replaced a original Crucial RAM, it was set in first slot, ADATA - in second. After some time i buyed a Kingston 9905700-118.A00G (same specs as Crucial, except for date of release and amount - 8GB, date of release was Week 43 / 2022). I replaced my old ADATA with new Kingston.
Windows detected my new RAM properly and showed that i have in total 12GB of RAM( 9.22 GB was free to use), but the games still uses 1 or 2GB of RAM, because of that i still experience a perfomance drops and framerate drops. I checked my RAM in Minecraft - the game used it correctly and now i got a 120-160 FPS, no one of the games used more than 2 or 1GB. I dont know why. I never removed a Crucial module, i replaced it on places (Kingston now located in first slot, when Crucial - on second). I will try to remove a Crucial module, but im not sure - will it help? I think that problem can be in my outdated BIOS, in last time it was updated in 2021. On oficial HP site i find out, that my laptop got some updates for BIOS, one of it was fresh (F.67 rev A). I dont know, maybe updating of BIOS can help to me?"
Updating the BIOS won't help.
I explained how upgrading to more memory should be done in my previous thread above this.
If you choose to continue to do it in the same manner that you have done, you will waste money and not get the results you are expecting.
Mixing different brands and module capacities and formats (the number of chips on a module) rarely works as expected.
The most practical way to upgrade is to go to a manufacturer website and search for memory that is guaranteed to be compatible with your laptop model series.
Save the module name and manufacturers Part number in a text file and then search for it online.
BIOS жаңартуы көмектеспейді.
Көбірек жадқа қалай жаңарту керектігін жоғарыдағы алдыңғы ағында түсіндірдім.
Егер сіз мұны бұрынғыдай істеуді таңдасаңыз, сіз ақшаны босқа жұмсайсыз және күткен нәтижеге қол жеткізе алмайсыз.
Әртүрлі брендтер мен модуль мүмкіндіктері мен пішімдерін араластыру (модульдегі чиптер саны) сирек күткендей жұмыс істейді.
Жаңартудың ең практикалық жолы - өндірушінің веб-сайтына өту және ноутбук үлгілері сериясымен үйлесімді болатынына кепілдік берілген жадты іздеу.
Модуль атауын және өндірушілердің Бөлшек нөмірін мәтіндік файлға сақтаңыз, содан кейін оны желіден іздеңіз.

My original RAM was Crucial with 4GB. But my AMD Ryzen 3500U understands only 2400 MHz. Thats amount of RAM was small for me, so i deciced to buy a second RAM from ADATA (It has a 2666 Mhz and 4GB, in total i got a 8GB of RAM, but!

I checked my RAM in Minecraft - the game used it correctly and now i got a 120-160 FPS, no one of the games used more than 2 or 1GB. I dont know why. I replaced Crucial and Kingston between slots (Kingston now located in first slot, when Crucial - on second). I will try to remove a Crucial module, but im not sure - will it help?

Please read what I wrote again carefully.
Mixing and matching memory usually doesn't end well, but it does provide plenty of frustration.
Менің жазғанымды тағы да мұқият оқып шығыңыз.
Жадты араластыру және сәйкестендіру әдетте жақсы аяқталмайды, бірақ ол көп көңілсіздік тудырады.
Meniñ jazğanımdı tağı da muqïyat oqıp şığıñız.

I checked my new RAM on compatibility using specs of original RAM, it has 1.2 V, both are 64 bit, Type: DDR4 SDRAM, same speed (DDR4-3200 (1600 MHz)), main difference is a DRAM Manufactuer (Kingston - Samsung; Crucial - Crucial)

Got it, ill try right now to remove a Crucial RAM and see what happen. I dont know why mixing is bad, on my previous notebook i mixed ADATA and Samsung, nothing bad happend, everything worked well. Both of this RAM are working now in Dual Channel (if check it through CPU-Z)

OK.
That means you may have gotten lucky. Most people don't.
Corsair memory chips are made by Samsung.
You can check that in the CPU-z APP. Click on the SPD tab.
click on the slot # tab to chaeck each module
