It is unlikely you can do anything with the memory you have to fix this problem.
The memory has the same specs as what another manufacturer recommends.
Be careful buying from auctions as they MAY be gradeouts. Always make sure you can return the product. Crucial has these for about $114 for your machine as an example.
Try upgrading your Bios first, also make sure that the memory that you ar putting in your Laptop is type PC-2700. Other than this, I know that this comptuer has a 2G limit and should have no problem with it.
Some time this type of problem occurs either one of you memory module is not working properly check your memory updation in bios then reinstall the windows after ram ugrade ,reinstllation after memory upgrades solves this problem
What OS are you running? 768 should be enough to run XP and keep you from getting that error message. On laptops their are normally just 2 slots for ram, so you would need to replace the 256 with the 512, which would bring you up to a gig of ram. Do you know if your computer has any spyware/adware on it? Sometimes malware can take up all your memory and generate just such an error. Do you know how many processes are running when you first login? Thank you.
Hi.There are a set of instructions that we need to follow for the upgrade process.You can increase the amount of RAM (random access memory)
in the notebook with an optional memory module approved by Compaq.The notebook contains 2 memory slots, one of which is accessible for an optional memory module upgrade.Please refer to think link and select the Hardware Upgrade option in the list in the file which will guide you thru picturised views for helping in the memory upgrade.Link is : http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00090108.pdf.
Please let us know whether this help or whether you need more help
First check out the RAM you had prior. If it is DDR or DDR2 then it needs to match exactly. If you go to the HP website and type in your model number they can tell you what RAM is compatible. If it matches what you bought and its not working then the RAM is bad and needs to be sent back.
