That is strange, the factory memory works in slots 1 and 2, each new memory stick works in slot 1 but not slot 2. You can't buy HP memory for this PC at this time using HP Part Surfer. The HP memory part number is 860399-800. Maybe you can purchase the HP memory on the web. The only suggestion I have is to try Crucial Memory. Crucial Memory. Hi I would at least try simple things first. power off unplug from wall remove cmos battery for a while then put back in and check what bios says for the ram amount My Computer NavyLCDR Posts 17,395 Windows 11 Pro 04 Feb 2020 #9 The next question is what RAM do you have installed and is it on the supported list?.

On Windows 10, open the "Start" menu, find "Task Manager" and click "Best Match". In Task Manager, click the Performance tab, and then click Memory to view the specifics of RAM. You should see the total available RAM at the highest point of the screen. Other itemized details are also displayed here, such as RAM speed, amount of available RAM. It means that the configuration of windows has been capped to see, or use only a set amount of physical memory in it`s configuration settings. To check if the memory windows uses is capped.

If you can use a computer that’s in working condition that has the same RAM compatibility (the same DDR revision and a slot that can accept the capacity of the DIMM), swap the possibly faulty memory into the second computer and see if.

How I fixed memory slot failure - Laptop Repair 101.

In doing so, I also removed both sticks of my ram (tforce delta at 3200mhz cl16). When I turned on my system both sticks lit up briefly, before one went out, when they were in a proper dual-channel configuration. Only one was recognized by windows. I have confirmed that both sticks operate perfectly fine in any dimm slot, but when both are in.

Task Manager shows 1 Ram Slot - HP Support Community - 7999756.

However, when I added the other stick it does not show and task manager shows: Slots used: 1 of 1, So I thought that maybe on of the slots are not working, so I removed the new ram stick and put the old one in the second slot, and the computer booted up, and it also boots up with only the new one in either slot. Well you weren't kidding thats one strange problem , task manager says 16gb at the top , then shows 8 as being use able. hmm if both sticks work separately , and you are 100% sure they are in the correct slots , and you have tried every possible slot combination including the exact opposite slots , then there might be some sort of issue with the board or the bios.

4 Ways to Check Installed RAM and Available RAM Slots on Windows.

Attach one RAM at a time and boot the PC up. Open the task manager and check your memory usage. Just open the performance tab and check the memory capacity and usage if it aligns with the RAM you just connected to your PC. Do this for each of your RAM sticks by turning off the computer and reconnecting the other RAM stick after booting. Whilst laptop's with only one ram slot are thankfully quite rare, some do have one slot in another place, eg under the keyboard and another more easily accessible one under a base flap. So best to check the official specs to ascertain if it really only has one slot or two. From what I've been reading, that sounds like possibly a bad RAM stick to me. It sounds like starting with windows 8.1, windows started to flag bad memory as hardware reserved. The piece most commonly identifying whether it was hardware or a software issue being whether or not the BIOS recognized the full memory amount.

Check if both of the ram work in one slot. So try to boot with your RAM in slot 2, if that works swap it out for the other stick. If that also works the issue is elsewhere. It could be either bad slots on the mobo or your CPU not being installed properly. In the CPU is the memory controller which basicly detects your RAM. I'll get to that in a bit.

Solved: Additional RAM not detected in BIOS - Dell Community.

My list of reasons ram might not appear 1, Some computers require that you go into bios and SAVE+EXIT in order to acknowledge that the new ram is there. 2, I posted a photo at the end of this, that shows how the ram must be put in certain order, do not follow this diagram, it is just there to show an example. 4. check the ram speed and specification (new ram and old ram). 5. try to install the windows 10 with your new ram and after that install the old ram and check. 6. wipe the hdd data properly (may be any software crash) and install the windows 10 again. 7. check the new ram any physical damage. You may have a possible slot problem, try re-seating the RAM stick that is not being detected, if you know which one it is, sometimes the connections in the slot can be intermittent. Bruce. Welcome.

I have 32GB of RAM. My computer only recognizes 16GB of it.

1GB = Free. If you had 16GB of RAM: 4GB = Game. 4GB = Operating System. 2GB = System Reserve. 6GB = Free (or up to 12GB available, if the OS doesn't hog it and you don't have game/app running) If the memory is being used up, it isn't actually a bad thing - it's better than it sitting there idle.

[SOLVED] RAM in laptop only works in one slot.

When I place both RAM sticks (2x 2GB DDR2 Corsair) in the two available slots of the motherboard. Once I boot it up, the computer won't boot. I get no signal. But, if I put a RAM in the first slot, the computer boots perfectly. I attempted putting the working RAM into the other slot but did not get success. What can be the problem? Please help!.
