I am trying to upgrade the ram in my laptop. Current ram is DDR4 sodimm Samsung 4gb K056000334191517B3 I purchased vengeance sodimm DDR4 16gb. I only have one available slot when I installed the new ram I just get the power light and the caps key blinking nothing else. Why isn’t this ram working? If it isn’t compatible what ram would you suggest? TIA

@MArgo96,

 

Welcome to our peer-to-peer HP Community Forum!

 

The maximum RAM your HP Laptop 14-cf2112wm (5T9T7UA) can handle is one 8GB DDR4 PC4-19200, 2400 MHz, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, SODIMM, 260-pin RAM stick:

Also confirmed here, btw.

 

In addition -and trust me on this, many HP computers are not particularly happy aka compatible with Corsair Vengeance RAM.

I would suggest this 8GB RAM module via Amazon.

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,

Hi, @MArgo96 

 

You may be able to install a 16 GB memory chip in your notebook based on the info in this discussion, but as NonSequitur777 indicated, you should avoid using performance memory in a notebook like yours.   It almost always never works.
