EliteBook 8440p; DM1-3020us: 2x4gb 1600 MHz DDR3L works in Pavilion DM1 but not Elitebook 8440p? But both are supported than 1066 MHz RAM

I have two Elitebook 8440p PCs that both run an Intel i5 520 m (although one of them has a discreet Nvidia NVS 3100 m, while the other does not and use the integrated graphics card Intel).

I also have a Pavilion DM1-3020us with an AMD E-350 APU; It's the only other PC I own which takes SO-DIMM DDR3 modules.

I just bought this Crucial DDR3L 1600 MHz 2x4gb hoping to use it with the 8440p without the graphics from Nvidia:

http://www.BestBuy.com/site/crucial-2-Pack-4GB-1-6GHz-PC3-12800-DDR3L-so-DIMM-Unbuffered-non-ECC-lap...

However, it causes crashes and BSOD as soon as he tried to start under Win7 64 bit on both 8440 p PCs.  Also when trying to boot Linux Mint 18 I empty a kernel panic, and run Memtest86 + just leads to restarting the PC within seconds.  Yet, I can navigate through the BIOS throughout the day and it will continue to work very well...

But here's where it gets really weird - the RAM works perfectly fine in my laptop DM1 Memtest86 + and Win7 64 bit (I use it as I type this).  What's curious?  Because both the AMD E-350 and the Intel i5 520 m only support up to 1066 MHz RAM!

The only thing I can think is that there is something wacky where RAM is unable to operate at 1066 MHz at 1.5V or is not able to run at 1.5V to all E-350 1.35v support (and 1.5V RAM so that the i5 520 m only supports 1.5V) which itself would be really strange that Micron (which actually manufactured the RAM) States on their website that their 1.35v and 1.5V RAM have actually the same die (a bit like mobile i7s quad vs quad I5S Office) and that both can operate at 1, 5V, implying therefore that the 1.35v product is simply a higher binning:

https://www.micron.com/~/Media/documents/products/technical-note/DRAM/tn4114_ddr3_1_35v_1_5v_compat...

Crucial live chat support, however, closed several hours for the day, so I thought I would at least make this post in the meantime.

Hello:

Please see this thread, and the discussion that I posted in this thread... and you'll have your answer.

6550 b has the same chipset as the 8440p.  I posted the link to the site from NewEgg for the memory, you need to buy if you live in the USA/Canada in the discussion that I've referenced to the other person who had the 8440p.

http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-hardware-and-upgrade-questions/RAM-memory-modules-that-actually-work-for-HP-EliteBook-8440p/m-p/5570634#M335108

There are several discussions on this issue if you want to find even more.  Everything is solved by specific G.Skill memory I posted.

The extent of why it works in the dm1 and not the 8440p, the chipsets are different.  The Intel chipset in the 8440p doesn't support voltage DDR3L.  Comparison of AMD and Intel chipsets are like comparing apples and oranges.

I also believe that the chipset amd in the dm1 is more recent than the chipset in the 8440p and promotes low-voltage memory.

I have just return from memory and use the gift card on something else.

I doubt that Best Buy has this specific memory.

  • Upgrade Acer E1-531 RAM 1333 mhz to 1600 mhz RAM?

    As E1 - 531 supports DDR3 1333 mhz sodimm 1.5V, it is possible to be upgraded with DD3 1600 mhz sticks?

    I use 2x2gb DDR3 1333 mhz

    I want to replace 1x2GB DD3 1333 mhz with DD3 1600 mhz 1x4Go

    So the end result will be 1x4Go DD3 1600 mhz + 1x2Go DD3 1333 mhz = 6 GB of RAM with different types of sticks.

    Is it OK, it is compatible and is it works without problem later?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can upgrade 2 + 4Gb without any problem, but it depends on the brand and the part number of the memory modules. They will work at 1333 MHz.

  • HP N233SL: RAM 1600 MHz instead of 800 MHz on a laptop does not work?

    Hello world

    I have a HP N233-SL, and the max ram I can install is 8 GB. By default, I got 6 GB.

    I checked and it is now 1x4Go + 1x2Go. I wanted to buy a new 1x4Go to add, having finally 2 x 4 GB.

    Problem is that the ram installed now is a PC3-12800 DDR3 (800 MHz), and I can't find any ram to buy it is 800 MHz.

    Now all I have fnd is 1600 MHz. What happens if I install a 1600 MHz instead of the 800? And strives to have a work at 800 and a second to 1600 (which implies that the system will go back to 800) of RAM?

    Thx a lot

    Luca

    Hello

    DDR3 PC3-12800 1600 MHz is expected. I don't know why they put 800 MHz but double channel od mid-range configuration still valid. Double means two and each channel run 800 MHz or 1600 MHz RAM specifications.

    No, the system will not retrograde, it will run each channel 800 MHz in dual mode.

    Kind regards.

  • I have a Macbook Pro mid 2012 edition, i7 and 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) of RAM DDR3 (1600 MHz). Can I add any RAM with this config?

    I want to upgrade my RAM 16 GB (2x8GB) and also to change the hard drive (750 GB) to a 250 GB SSD. I was going through the forum and people have posted that they have improved their RAM with no problems. I visited the local electronics market and is the knowledge that they have a Kingston 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM. I just want to know if it is safe to add that RAM for my MBP or not? One of my friends told me that the MBP requires a different sort of RAM so I am confused. In addition, I was intending to buy a single 8 GB and set up my MBP with 12 GB (8 + 4) RAM and then replace the other 4 GB with an 8 GB to make eventually 16GB. Will there be a problem with this approach? Also can I add any SSD fits laptops from my system? I found an SSD 240 GB (uv300) Kingston. Please suggest if I can add that.

    You can fit a maximum of 16 GB, if you choose compatible Ram.

  • Tecra M1 - Pentium M 1600 MHz locked 598 MHz

    I bought a used Tecra M1 at 1600 MHz, but it turns 598 MHz maximum. This problem appears usually when the motherboard has been changed and does not correctly recognize the CPU. The CPU tab does not appear in the utility of Toshiba hardware configuration in order to put the "dynamics of the CPU frequency" mode, as this option (dynamic CPU frequency mode) does not appear in the BIOS, on the first page, under OTHERS, as it should.
    Anyone know to unlock? (possibly without going through the service center)
    Anyone who has a bootable CD to fix it I saw one for M200?
    I would appreciate your help.
    Thank you!

    Hi, you are right, this will occur if the motherboard has been changed. Just do an update of the bios. Then it should operate normally.
