Didn't do any damage, just wouldn't go :badpc:

Other times in the past, throw any sort of RAM in and away they go, sometimes its suck it and see :D

1219683 2011-07-28 22:29:00 Yep, i've heard of HPs being fussy with RAM too. It pretty much had to be the uber-expensive RAM from HP or it wouldn't work. autechre (266)

Never had any issue with Kingston RAM and HP machines

Thought the worst until the screen came to life and advised me that the RAM had changed ... press F1 to continue or something else to cancel ... Turned my back to the computer and pressed F1 ... no loud bangs or smell of melting components

All good :D
