I could not find its full specs, only:

   http://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c01696918

but from its Maintenance Service Guide, it uses DDR2 RAM. DDR3 RAM won't work

     http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-dv6-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/3873224/model/3...

Page 64 of the manual shows you RAM specs, part number and how to replace RAM

Hi,

It is not suitable. You can only upgrade your system with DDR2 memory as DDR3 is not supported by your system.

So only DDR2 memory as an example:

Crucial 4GB DDR2-800 SODIMM

Hope it helps,

Hello  PanMar85,

As per the guide, DDR 3 cannot fit the Mem notch  : See the differences in picture below. 

Since you claim that DDR-3 RAM module is working on the PC. Try the Same MeM on the other Mem Slot and check iot that fits. If yes. Buy a similar one and make 8gb Total. That shoukld fix the issue.
