The RAMs do work individually but don’t work together, they both are 8GB.

I know that the slots are working as I tried changing them and putting them together.

I first tried installing a 2nd 16 GB RAM stick (Kingston) and, for a few days, every was fine. Then, my desktop began to freeze at random intervals and I had to forcefully restart the desktop to get it working. Once I removed the Kingston RAM stick, everything worked like normal.

I tried swapping the RAM sticks between the RAM slots and the issue still occurred; but when I insert the RAM stick that came with the desktop, no issues occurred so I don't think the RAM slots are bad.

For my 2nd attempt, I completely replaced the RAM that came with the desktop with 2 (Corsair) 16GB RAM sticks (totaling 32 GB), and the same issue occurred. Worked for a few days, then random freezing occurred.

The motherboard is an Edoras so BIOS doesn't show Advanced Options or XPM.

HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Windows, HP Support Assistant, and the built-in Diagnostic software have all indicated that there are "No Problems" which is obviously wrong. And HP Support Assistant says the BIOS is up-to-date.

There's no pending updates under Settings, Device Manager says the drivers are current, and neither Corsair nor Kingston offer drivers updates on their websites (not since I last checked).

And apparently, there are no manuals/spec documents ANYWHERE on the internet and HP hasn't been helpful at all.

• The PC is 64-bit and both RAMs are compatible.
• It is up to date, and uses Windows 11.
• Both RAMs are 16384 MB
• Both RAMs are 2666 MHz
• Both RAMs are DDR4

My only remaining option is to try a single 32GB RAM stick, but I'd rather not risk losing another $70+ if I'm gonna end up with the same issue.

This week, the moniter wouln’t receive a signal anymore. I fooled around quite a bit and found that the comp only sent a signal when the new G.Skill RAM was removed. Why would my computer reject the new RAM after working fine for a week?

Specs:

CPU: Intel i5 9400

GPU: GTX 1060 3GB

Motherboard: ASUS B365M-A

RAM: Old RAM, Corsair Vengence 8 GB; Added RAM, G.Skill Ripjaws 8 GB

I have HP 15-r011dx Notebook PC the question is regarding the RAM upgrade. I just gathered information that can support SODIMM DDR3. but I want to know how many slots my notebook have and What MHz it can support and how many GB’s it can support. I have mailed hp support no significant answers, read multiple forums(people there have a similar problem), tried CPU Z(it’s showing dual channel) but in task manager>performance>meomry it shows slots used 1of1. and this notebook uses 2213 57.16 motherboard. I’m confused.

Thanks.

Standard:

DDR3 PC3-10600 SDRAM (1333 MHz)

Two SODIMM slots supporting dual-channel memory

2GB, 4GB, and 8GB SODIMMs

Maximum:

Ungradable to 16GB with 8GB SODIMMs in slots 1 and 2

Dual-channel:

Maximized dual-channel performance requires SODIMMs of the same size and speed in both memory slots.

I am also planning to upgrade the CPU to Intel Core i7-2860qm which supports PC3-12800s in the future, so that's why I am considering PC3-12800s as an option. Please help.

I recently re-soldered a resistor from a DDR3 stick to DDR5 as when I was removing the heatsinks one came off.

I took one from random DDR3 RAM and I tested with multi meter that the original one is 0.29 Ohm and the one I replaced is 0.24Ohm. (when testing with multimeter at 20K OHMs)

The sticks work fine when I put them in a PC. They're 8000Mhz ones, of course I don't have a CPU yet that can test whether they'll run at those speeds, but in BIOS XMP shows up fine.

Trace from the resistor leads directly into the RGB light diode on the RAM.

Please see included screenshot.

Will it affect the ram at all or I shouldn't be concerned?

Its the top empty space for resistor that was missing. FYI.
