@Barde1997 It's best to check if the device supports the memory module of your choice before upgrading the same, here's what I see on your product's service and maintenance guide: click here for details
And here's a screenshot of what's in it:
If you are using DDR3, 1333mhz and yet have the issues, I suggest you update the BIOS and the Chip set drivers using the HP website and check if it fixes the issue.
