Hp Probook 450 G2 Memory Upgrade

[Barton Ostby]

Soundsodd why it would throw a fit. Would try again and switch the sticks around perhaps? The Probook 450 supports that configuration as it supports up to a 8GB stick in each slot. It does show it should be happy running dual channel with 1x8GB+1x4GB configuration. (Page 2) As noted, but not that it should make or break an upgrade, was the BIOS up-to-date before upgrade time?

From the Maintenance and Service Guide:

Update BIOS before adding memory modules

Before adding new memory, make sure you update the computer to the latest BIOS.

CAUTION: Failure to update the computer to the latest BIOS prior to installing new memory may result in various system problems.

NOTE: Due to the non-industry standard nature of some third-party memory modules, we recommend HP branded memory to ensure compatibility. If you mix memory speeds, the system will perform at the lower memory speed. With Windows Starter 32-bit operating systems, the amount of usable memory is dependent upon your configuration, so that above 3 GB all memory may not be available due to system resource requirements.

I have a HP Compaq pro 4000 SFF. Windows 7 x64 installed with 4gb mem. I upgraded to Windows 10 x64 and upgraded drivers (bios, chipset, etc). Want to upgrade memory to 8gb, which machine is capable of doing, but when swapping out 2gb with 4gb all I get is beeping on startup. What could I have missed or what else do I need to look into?

Random Access Memory (RAM) also known as system memory, main memory, primary memory is a computer's temporary data storage device. It stores the information that the computer is actively using so that it can be accessed quickly. The more programs that your computer is running, the more memory it uses to perform properly.

Sometimes a RAM or system memory upgrade is recommended, to improve the performance of a computer. An upgrade means adding memory modules along with the existing ones or replacing the old ones with new modules with higher capacity.

Desktop computers support DIMM modules, and laptops support SODIMM. There is a significant physical size difference between these two types of memory modules. It is also important to understand which generation of system memory (RAM) your computer supports (for example DDR2, DDR3, DDR4, DDR4L, or DDR5). System boards are designed to support only one generation of system memory (RAM). See the documentation of your Dell computer for model-specific information.
