HP Pavilion p6240f: upgrade RAM, Pavilion p6240f works not

Greetings HP community.

Today, I'm working on a HP Pavilion p6240f. I am trying to install (2) 8 GB DDR3 1600 chips.  When I turn on the computer I hear 1 short beep and 1 long beep, which results in an error of memory.  Bought the wrong RAM?  Can I make it work?  I checked the BIOS and it seems that I have the version 5.11 of 29/09/2009 and no other version is available on the product Web page.

Please help, thanks

Hello

The motherboard in the p6240f is only spec'd to use 2 GB DIMM modules.

Your first consideration should be Support HP or HP sales during the consideration of upgrades or replacement of memory. If you want to consider other manufacturers of the best way to avoid memory problems is to contact one of the leading manufacturers of memory. I would recommend that you try the tools of these manufacturers: Corsair, Kingston and Crucial. Once you have determined the DIMMs that you need, then contact commercial or technical support to check that you have selected the correct DIMMS. If you buy directly from manufacturers, then they will stand behind their products.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    I've updated several PC Win7 Win10 - and they had all these problems in one way or another... so I wrote this to provide advice to people considering such update...

    You think about the amount of work that you want to post just to run Win10.  Seriously.  Old machine Win7 tend to come in two flavors when it comes to upgrading Win10 - really easy and really difficult.

    The really hard to upgrade computers fall into two categories: (1) those who are expandable to Win10 and works OK, (2) those who are not.

    Computers laptops HP, especially old Win7 machines, often came with two different graphics - and Intel chips and then either a processor AMD or Nvidia.  This was known as switchable graphics card or hybrid.  You have run using the Intel chip most of the time, but when you need additional graphics power, as in the game, the PC automatically switched over to the use of the AMD or Nvidia graphics chip.

    Problem is, this requires special graphics drivers to work, and while that those that are preinstalled on laptops Win7, these drivers simply do not exist for Win10.  These drivers are not available from Intel, AMD or Nvidia.  One way to tell if your PC has two different graphics chips is to look in under Graphics Device Manager.  If there are two different cards in the list, an Intel and AMD/Nividia, then you have this problem - and if you force an upgrade to Win10, you will have serious graphic problems and your machine will not work.

    However, if you do not have this problem, to CAN pass to Win10, but you must be willing to do four things:
    (1) do a full image backup of disk external drive or USB stick, capacity
    (2) changes to the reserved system partitioning hard disk recommandΘes mΘthodes,
    (3) use a different approach and maybe more than one, as Windows Update to do the upgrade,
    (4) prepare for a clean install.

    ---------------------------------
    1: backup of images:
    This is VITAL, because the machine is doomed to failure of the upgrade, and when that happens, you will learn that GoBack to Win10 function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.

    You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.

    What I recommend is the following:
    (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
    (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
    (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key

    NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.
    ---------------------------------
    2: System reserved for resizing:
    There is a small partition on the HDD with Win7 preinstalled machines known as system reserved.  It is something known as the boot loader code.  There is 100 MB format: all that is necessary for Win7.  But Win10 needs 350 MB and, in some cases, is NOT able to resize it on its own.  IF this happens, you must manually use a partitioning tool to resize it yourself.
    ---------------------------------
    3: use a different approach to upgrade:
    Windows Update is the simpler, but less reliable, way to do the upgrade from Win10.  A much better and more reliable way is to use Microsoft Media creation tool: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install?ocid=ms_wol_win10 choose the upgrade this option now PC.

    After all this, you know that MS install drivers with only the most basic features.  Given that HP does not have drivers for your PC Win10, this limited functionality is the best you're going to get.  HP does not actively write new drivers from Win10 for the old PC Win7.  To keep all the features of your PC, your best shot is NOT to upgrade to Win10.
    ---------------------------------
    4: be prepared to clean-install:
    If you do all this, and after the upgrade, your PC works partially, this means that the upgrade is not well and stuff is still there the previous OS corrupt the functionality of Win10.

    You MIGHT be able to solve the problem in fact a clean install of Win10. Problem is that, often, a clean-install does not recognize prior activation, even if it should. So, before doing the upgrade, follow these instructions on the community forums Win10 on creating a genuineticket.xml file: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/23354-clean-install-windows-10-directly-without-having-upgrade-first.html

    You need more later to activate your pc Win10 after the installation of clean.

    -----------------------------------------------
    Good luck

    I want to upgrade RAM of my laptop. Should what kind of product I buy? Specifically, please.

    I would like to expand the capacity of the RAM as much as possible.

    It's the number of the product you need: F9G45EA #ABZ.

    It is the 15-n233sl model and the plug you have 6 GB. See page 42 of the manual here:

    Repair manuals

    The manual indicates that it takes up to 12 GB which is a 4 GB and 8 GB module to the module but regularly, users have reported success with 2 x 8 GB for a total of 16 concerts. For most of the users 8 GB is a lot and it would mean just remove the module from 2 gig you have now and its replacement by a 4 GB. What that you choose to do I would have 2 modules size even for enable support dual channel. 8 concerts running dual channel is likely to be just as good as 12 concerts running in single channel due to incompatible modules. HP part numbers:

    Memory 4 GB 691740-001 module

    Hi @Rajendranath,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv6-6c40ex Entertainment Notebook and issues with programs not working not properly. You can do a System Restore. System Restore will help if something is automatically updated and wasn't on the laptop. I recommend somewhere around November 1, which ensures that the parameters that have been changed are fixed.

    When running a system restore note remove all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices because they can cause problems.

    Please let me know how it goes.

    You have a laptop. So try the right button on your touchpad. It work?
    If so, the only remaining possibilities are:
    1. bad mouse. Get a new one.
    2. defective UBS port. Plug the mouse into a different port. See if the right click of the mouse works this time.

  • Quick start Intel stops working when upgrading RAM

    I have a laptop dv7-7212nr of nine ENVY running 64-bit Windows 8.

    This machine has Intel Rapid Storage Technology that caches the data on the hard drive (I think on the SSD of 32 GB) and active Intel Rapid Start technology that stores memory in the SSD cache (I think) when the computer enters a State of hibernation.

    The first thing I did was upgraded to 8 GB to 16 GB RAM.  It works fine, but then I get an error message "your system does not appear to be with technology intel quick ignition."

    HP provides very little information about it, virtually none.  I suppose memory is cached on the SSD, but I don't know how to check this.  I also noticed that acceleration is not enabled under the Rapid Storage Technology applet for the reader.

    I called tech support twice, but technicians knew nothing of the upgrade of RAM beyond the usual and couldn't do it worked either.

    Does anyone know yet exactly how the SSD is used in my system?  It would be valuable information for me.

    Thanks in advance!

    Third times the charm.  The tech 3rd to aware of this problem.  This motherboard has a 8GB cache forIntel fast boot technology.  You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16 GB, but Intel Rapid Start will never work again.  So there you go.  I will return the 16 GB of RAM.  I saved a lot of money, because if I had ordered the machine with 16 GB was an another $300 (RAM on Amazon was $ 80).  But it is not really scalable.

    The SSD that appears in the management of the computer is the motherboard cache.  There is only a single drive on this computer.

  • my hp Pavilion dv200 does not turn

    my hp Pavilion dv2000 worked well, but a few days ago, I just tried to put in a new ram to make it faster. He had 2 GB and I added to Go more but the ram I used was a used and while I was blocking power off the pc he hung and I got angry and poped battery and removed the Panel back and inserted the ram now when I turn on my pc all led lights are light but my power led button flashes and my screen is empty

    Please help me

    Remove the RAM you installed and replace the original module in the position he was.

    Once done, try a hard reset as follows:

    (1) remove the battery and unplug the DC power adapter.
    (2) press and hold the power button for more than 15 seconds.
    (3) plug the DC power adapter (leave the battery for now)
    4) press the power button

    Please post here your positives or negatives in your thread.

    If you want to upgrade the RAM code... always replace memory by pairs of identical modules that are purchased as guaranteed compatible memory modules.  Mix of brands and the ability of the module usually leads to the problem that you are experiencing.
