HP 250 G4 Notebook PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am trying to upgrade my hp 250 g4 notebook ram which has already a 4gb ram stick 

I wanted to add another 4gb stick in the second slot on the laptop but it doesn't recognize the new stick like it isn't mounted in the laptop

When I tried to with only the new stick the notebook refused to boot 

I used different ram sticks from different companies ( Samsung, crucial, team group...) and all with the same specs (Ddr3, 4gb, 1600 mhz...) but didn't change anything and I'm sure that all the ram sticks that I used are working properly 

For some reason the laptop only accepts the original ram stick and refuses to even reconize the others 

I even updated the bios but it didn't help at all

 

Any solution?
