Product: HP 15 f233wm
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

so I have been trying to upgrade the ram on this machine from 4gb to 8gb for 2 months now. I install the new stick and it powers on but nothing posts? Just a black screen with the hard drive light on and the power light and wifi light. Upgraded to ssd and That has helped some but still laggy so thought the ram upgrade would help

Hi:

 

Your notebook supports up to 1 x 8 GB of memory.

 

The only suggestion I can offer if you have not done so already, would be to purchase guaranteed compatible memory for your notebook from Crucial...

That's what I bought and still got the black screen. Tried the stick in a different machine and works fine so its not a faulty ram
