Upgrading RAM Pavilion Dv6-3035 sl

[MMaier]

Hello everybody,

Pavilion Dv6-3035sl has originally 2 RAM blocks for 4Gb total. Max RAM available is 8GB.

Specs of original blocks are:

Memory Type: SODIMM

Capacity: 2GB

Pins: 204 Pin

Bus Type: PC-10600

Error Correction: Non-ECC

Cycle Time: 1.5ns

Cas: CL9

Data Transfer Rate: 1333Mhz

Memory Clock: 166Mhz

Rank; Rank 2

Voltage: 1.5

I bought 2 Kingston blocks of 4GB each, whose specs are:

DDR3 , 1333MHz , Non-ECC , CL9 , X8 , 1.5V , Unbuffered , SODIMM , 204-pin.

Unfortunately, it seems that my notebook isn't compatible with these RAM blocks and it restarts immediately.

Which is the problem?

Thanks

It can take up to 8 gigs, that is correct. However, the HP laptops with first gen Intel core CPUs are very, very finicky about their memory. This is the specified 4 gig module:

Memory module (DDR3 PC3-10600 1333-MHz) 4096-MB 599092-001
