Ram problems

[Crnjac]

I tried many ram modules and none of them worked.

I have a Hewlett Packard 304bh motherboard and it supports 1333mhz memory and it can only have 4gb of ram per slot.

I tried the most compatible ram for my PC and it didn't work

Currently I have 6gb of HP ram 3x2gb

If you have a solution to this problem please help

So what are you trying to do? 

Add the 1x4 to the 3x2 for a total of 10gb?

 

What happens if you do whatever you are trying? Just bsod? Or no boot at all? Freezing?

I am trying 3x4 so 12gb ram and it depends of what memory I am using.

Most of the times it detects the memory and then it just blue screen and it restarts every single time

Sometimes it doesn't recognize the memory and just beeps

Well maybe some of your memory is dead. 

One thing to note here though, is that your platform is dual channel, so running 3 Sticks isn't really ideal. Either 2 or 4 would be best. 

Does it boot normally with 2x4gb? (inserted in two same colored slots)

It does not boot with any other ram except mine

Maybe you got yourself ECC ram or something, which is not compatible with your System. 

 

Do you have pics of the two (OG and new) ram modules?

I can only give you old ram photos but maybe later I am busy now.

Oh and also the man I was buying ram from said it could be a hard disk problem and I don't believe in that

Those are 2GB sticks?

 

Take pictures of the 4GB sticks you're trying to install.

I don't have them here 

We tried both 1600mhz and 1333mhz but nothing

Are they mismatched sticks? 3 is a weird number to have. Even if you buy multiple of the same kind, they can have little differences that will prevent the pc from booting - I've experienced it personally while trying to add more ram to a laptop, and I just had to buy a matching kit.

But I have tried to put it in one slot
