HP ProBook 450 G1 flawless memory upgrade, yet displays invisible SPD/voltage.

So I opted to double my memory after buying this from MicroCenter (the i5 version) and saw it used DDR3L low-latency RAM, so I specifically found the identical brand (crucial) and DDR3L make (also identical) and now have 16GB of dual channel RAM; no errors booting up, no issues within the BIOS, however it seems the RAM I so meticulously purchased and installed has decided to be invisible as far as the rest of my computer is concerned. I believe I had read similar scenarios such as this in the past but none related to my make/model, or at least not without an error.  Here's what I'm seeing, both from Speccy and CPU-Z:  And Speccy is even more confused:  So ... HP, or any forum-goers: any thoughts or ideas?  I'd like to have this piece of my machine's identity back, and am unsure of any adverse effects this may cause as well.  I haven't bothered benchmarking anything to find out and am erring on the side of caution by consulting the masses first. Thanks in advance, Tristatris[at]aol.com

I can't argue with that, what with the level of degree I myself am stumped at.  I don't truly believe it affects performance any, but I can't help but feel disconcerted seeing those empty fields.  I do appreciate the response, it confirms some of my suspicions due to how little sense this truly makes. Thanks much. Ayashi

  • HP Probook 4520s Memory upgrade to 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Unsuccessf​ul and Failed

    Ok, here is the story
    My notebook is HP Probook 4520s
    with Windows Windows 8.1 (6.3) 64-bit (Build 9600)
    Please refer to the end of this post for CPU-Z report of specs.
    Currently I have 3GB of memory installed -had to install them back after upgrade failure-.
    Please refer again to the CPU-Z report for the memory module specifications.
    I bought the following Corsair 2x4GB memory pack
    Corsair CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9 8GB (2x4GB) 1333MHz DDR3 SODIMM

    When I installed the memory module onto the notebook, I basically couldn't go beyond the POST stage. That is the HP logo appears on the screen, and that's it.. that's it.. nothing beyond that stage.
    When I went to the BIOS settings, the memory successfully read 81xxMB, this is basically 8GB of RAM.
    I tried to reset BIOS settings, failed again.
    I removed the 2x4GB modules, put back both original 1GB and 2GB modules -the ones that came with the notebook-, everything worked again.
    What went wrong here..?
    P.S. please do not reply with lame replies like "that's weird" "that's strange", I know it's weird and strange. I want specific and clear suggestions.

  • HP Probook 6450b Memory upgrade issue

    Hi All,
    I appear to be having a strange issue trying to upgrade the memory in a HP 6450b probook (i5-480m & ATI card). The laptop came with 2gb of p/n sps 598856-002 which is 1333mhz 1.5v ram with the manufacturer being ramaxel. I ordered and fitted a couple of 4gb kingston sticks
    http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product/sku/10473659/mfg​_partno/KTH-X3BS/4G
    Fitted them and all seemed to be well as the OS (win 7 32bit pro) showed the stick as 8gb recognised and 3gb usable, the bios also reports 8gb as well. However the moment a 64 bit OS (Linux or Windows) is attempted to be run the laptop just crashes or hangs
    I previously attempted this upgrade with two sticks of crucial memory but had exactly the same problem, so thinking the crucial memory was the issue I returned them to the supplier and ordered the kingstons instead.
    I have seen very similar issue noted here:
    http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/328016-30-memo​ry-upgrade-probook
    and
    http://superuser.com/questions/580512/hp-probook-6​450b-not-booting-after-memory-upgrade
    My gut instinct suggests this laptop may be very fussy about the memory chips, it may have to be a 16 chip 4gb stick as opposed to 8 chip 4gb sticks.
    Any thoughts and help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    You're very welcome.
    Glad the lower density memory worked for you, and now you know what to look for the next time you plan on upgrading the memory on any HP notebook made in the last 8 years or so.

  • How much memory could I put into a HP ProBook 450 (H6P51EA) ??

    Hello,
    I am trying to choose notebook between this models:
    HP ProBook 450 (H6P51EA)
    HP ProBook 450 (H0V97EA)
    HP ProBook 4540s (H5J79EA)
    How much memory could I put into a HP ProBook 450 (H6P51EA) ?? (maximum memory)
    It is difficult to find this information (It is difficult for me as I need to traslate from english.)
    I read the  http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14588_div/14588_div.PDF , but there is no concrete information for H6P51EA.
    Help me to find out with it. Where I can find this information?
    It will be better if I will know max memory for each of the notebooks.
    Thanks.

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .

  • After win 10 upgrade my probook 450 g1 graphics drivers problem

    After i upgrade my os to win 10 the graphic driver has a problem my laptop is probook 450 g1 please support the new windows quickly

    As a long time Windows 10 tester, I have found by and large that the Windows 8.1 drivers will work, albeit sometimes in a limited fashion.  So if you're running the Intel 4600 Graphics chip, use the Windows 8.1 drivers, they will work. 

  • I want to use finger print on HP Probook 450 G1 .. Windows 8.1 Pro

    Please help me i just Bought HP probook 450 g1 .. and i installed the validity fingerprint sensor succesfully but i don't know how to use the finger print or where i can find it .. i downloaded simplepass .. tha black virsion and i couldn't understand any thing .. and l keeps telling me '' Simplepass can use your windows pass word to log on'' and whenever i write it  .. the program tells me  .. the password you enterd doesn't match .. and i tried to install HP Client Security Manager .. i keep telling me that ERROR 1001 .. i i want to do is the use the fingerprint ... is that possible in that laptop .. i think i'm going to die

    Amr-Zero,
    No dying!
    As far as I know, your computer is not going to run SimplePass -- it wants to run the HP Client Security Manager. 
    There are some prerequisites as listed on the System Requirements page.  Amongst these: the File Sanitizer Software, both .NET framework 3.5 and 4.5, and others.  It is likely that your system has all the necessary software, although you may not have installed the File Sanitizer yet.  It is available from your computer's driver page.
    If you do not yet have .NET Framework 4.5, you can download install .NET Framework 4.5.1:  Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.1
    It is of vital importance that you have all your Windows Updates in place.  Make sure they are indeed complete.  If you are one of the people in the world that do not believe in Windows Updates, turn them off later -- this is not the time.
    HP ProBook 450 B1 Notebook Drivers - Windows 8.1
    You need to remove and banish that SimplePass software from the system.
    Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features > find and remove the SimplePass software
    Next:
    Create a Restore Point   Create a Restore Point – Win7  OR  Create a restore point Win8
    Close all your programs and Shut down the computer
    Disconnect everything (little Unifier for the keyboard / external mouse can stay)
    Perform the Hard Reset for your notebook
    Boot the computer and log in
    Reminder:  Hard Reset is just a device Reset.  The Hard Reset procedure does not wipe out your files nor does it destroy your Windows setup in any way.  It just "clears the cobwebs".  Depending on the cause of the problem, this kind of "reset" can fix a variety of computer glitches.
    ==========================================================================
    Unfortunately, this is the extent of my knowledge on the subject.  You have a "business" computer and this is "business" software.  I perfectly understand that YOU might be just someone sitting in your house somewhere on the planet -- it is the COMPUTER and the SOFTWARE that is the difference here. 
    There is a White Paper on the subject in your Manuals section -- it is useful if you have some background in the subject at all.
    Click the Kudos Thumbs-Up!
    It is a nice way to say “Thank You" for the help.

  • MacbookPro will not wake up from sleep after memory upgrade

    I am restarting this topic as I have read thread after thread (many years old) and they all just die off with out any definite solution.
    I have a 13" Mid 2010 Mac book Pro which originally came with 250gb HDD and 4gb memory
    I have recently upgraded to a 256 SSD and a 1TB HDD optidrive replacement along with a 8GB memory upgrade and I am now running Lion 10.7.4
    If I close the lid and open within approximately 1 minute it will wake up quickly as normal, if I leave it asleep for a minute or 2 it will not wake up with out holding the power button for several seconds and then I still need to wait a several seconds for it to respond and actually wake up. Sometimes I will need to completely shut down and restart. If I wanted a computer that takes forever to wake up I would have a PC!
    The last thing I upgraded was the memory so I am sure it is the cause of the sleep problem and not the SSD conversion which was working fine with the original 4GB mem before upgrade.
    I have read about resting the PRAM, resetting PMC as well as executing a line in the terminal, but all of these seem to have variable success. I have tried every thing but using the terminal to adjust the hibernate mode setting as I am not proficient with terminal and don't actually understand what changing this setting does (sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 7).
    Has anyone resolved this sleep problem and what did you do? I would greatly appreciate some knowledgeable insight on the hibernation settings, and what running the line in the terminal is actually doing... even better what is the default so I can change it back if it doesn't resolve the problem.
    A simple memory upgrade causing such a issues is very irritating.... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    But still, the sleep issue persists, so it is a more subtle timing issue. I upgraded my MBP with a Corsair 8GB kit ( http://www.corsair.com/us/corsair-mac-memory-8gb-ddr3-sodimm-memory-kit-cmsa8gx3 m2a1333c9.html ) and it indicated it had 9-9-9-24 CAS timing. It has worked flawlessly till now. Note that my Mac is a Late 2011, whose memory runs at 1333 MHz.
    As far as I can tell, the 13" Mid 2010 models used 1067 MHz memory with 7-7-7-20 CAS timing: http://www.corsair.com/us/corsair-mac-memory-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-sodimm-memory -kit-cmsa8gx3m2a106c7.html

  • 450 g2 Wireless Card upgrade and antennas

    Hello,
    I just ordered a ProBook 450 G2, model # L8D98UT.  It comes with the Intel 3160 AC Wireless card.  I'd like to upgrade this to the 7260 AC Card.  Is this possible, and does this specific model come with the 2 antenanas required for the 7260 Wireless AC Card?  I was unable to tell from the specifications if 1 or 2 antennas are in the display bezel.
    Thanks

    Hi:
    That shouldn't be a problem.
    If you look at the service manual, it shows 2 antennas on the procedure for removing and replacing the WLAN card.

  • HP Pavilion s7720.uk memory upgrade

    My parents own a HP Pavilion s7720.uk Desktop PC (opens in new) 
    Performance is suffering recently as it has become become loaded with software and gbs worth of photos and itunes music. they havent upgraded yet and I think upgrading the memory speed to freshen it up.
    I believe that it currently features 1gb of 444mhz pc-4200 Hynix Memory. (Serial - Rx8-PC2-4200U-444-12-HYMP564U64CP8-C4-AB-C--0650--C)
    The hp product page for the model states that PC2-4200 MB/sec is supported but I hope it will allow faster?
    Ideally, I would like to install 2gb of superior crucial memory, but I am unsure of whether the motherboard will support the faster speed dimms. I already have understood 2gb is the maximum capacity but I hope somebody can tell me what the maximum memory speed it will accept, if that is, it is even an issue? I would hope maybe 667mhz 800mhz of the type PC2-5300 or PC2-6400?
    I welcome any suggestions for alternative memory or different upgrades if this is not a particularly great idea. Note they already have an external hd 
    Cheers

  • Memory upgrade on iMac G3 700, help with system crashes

    I tried to do a memory upgrade on my iMac, so I bought two kingston 256 MB PC133 modules, but none will work, the system starts, but hangs in about two minutes after loading the desktop. I went back to use the older memory module wich is an spectek, but I need the upgrade, any ideas?
    Thanks!
    FedericoMG.
    Ps: Sorry about my english... I'm from Argentina... :-P

    Hi Federicomg
    The iMac 700 G3 should have been supplied with 1 stick of 256mb ram. However which is the correct type i am not sure as the Apple specifications for this model state PC100 whereas my iMac G3 700 graphite was supplied with 256 MB PC133-333 SDRAM
    http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacSummer2001.html
    Apple profiler from my iMac this is the original supplied RAM from Apple:-
    DIMM0/J13: Size: 256 MB
    Type: SDRAM
    Speed: PC133-333
    1) I would re-instal the original ram and open system profiler to see what type the ram is.
    2) Keeping the original stick in place add another stick of the new ram and look again in profiler to see if its recognised and again try the second stick to see if there's a problem with one of the sticks.
    I am currently running my iMac with a small upgrade of RAM and the additional RAM is 128MB of PC100 and i have noticed the performance improvement since adding the PC100 so it's working and i have suffered no ill effects doing this..

  • Windows 7 Ultimate x64 BOOT Failure on HP ProBook 450 G1...

    Dear forum viewes and experts...
    I hope you can provide me with your insights on this problem i am having...
    I bought a new laptop HP ProBook 450 G1 (i5 4200M, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 2GB ATI Graphics card). The laptop comes with DOS free operating system.
    I installed Windows 7 Ultimate from ISO file on a USB stick, and then activated the Windows.
    After updating all drivers and having a clean device manager with no hardware left as unknown, i figured out that the laptop fails to make a cold BOOT.
    After several trials, and installations. the problem remained the same. I changed the installation to Windows 8.1 Pro and the problem remained the same.
    On cold booting, the laptop after showing HP logo in start-up starts to show Windows Logo animation but in Super Slow Motion for about 6-8 minutes, then followed by strange sounds which force me to shut it down by pressing power button for long until it shuts down.
    After huge number of trail and error, i found out that if I entered BIOS Setup (by pressing esc then F10) and then exiting it without doing any changes or even without saving, the Laptop boots Windows 7 very smoothly (in about 15-18 seconds) and works fine. it also can make endless number of smooth restarts without any problem.
    If it is shut down then turned on, the boot failure is the outcome.
    The only way to make a successful cold BOOT (i.e after a shut down) is to enter BIOS setup mode (by pressing esc then F10), then exiting it within seconds without changing anything or saving, then it boots smoothly.
    I tried MBR fixes through command prompt in Recovery Mode, I tried to change booting to make it boot as LEGACY or UEFI Hybrid. The BIOS is updated to the latest frimware on HP website verion 1.2 dated 15 July 2014.
    NO HELP.....All lead to the same disappointing result.
    Any idea whether this is a hardware issue/software issue/BIOS issue?

  • HP Probook 450 G1 Boot Failure....!!

    Dear forum viewes and experts...
    I hope you can provide me with your insights on this problem i am having...
    I bought a new laptop HP ProBook 450 G1 (i5 4200M, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 2GB ATI Graphics card). The laptop comes with DOS free operating system.
    I installed Windows 7 Ultimate from ISO file on a USB stick, and then activated the Windows.
    After updating all drivers and having a clean device manager with no hardware left as unknown, i figured out that the laptop fails to make a cold BOOT.
    After several trials, and installations. the problem remained the same. I changed the installation to Windows 8.1 Pro and the problem remained the same.
    On cold booting, the laptop after showing HP logo in start-up starts to show Windows Logo animation but in Super Slow Motion for about 6-8 minutes, then followed by strange sounds which force me to shut it down by pressing power button for long until it shuts down.
    After huge number of trail and error, i found out that if I entered BIOS Setup (by pressing esc then F10) and then exiting it without doing any changes or even without saving, the Laptop boots Windows 7 very smoothly (in about 15-18 seconds) and works fine. it also can make endless number of smooth restarts without any problem.
    If it is shut down then turned on, the boot failure is the outcome.
    The only way to make a successful cold BOOT (i.e after a shut down) is to enter BIOS setup mode (by pressing esc then F10), then exiting it within seconds without changing anything or saving, then it boots smoothly.

    Can you post a screenshot with the PCI\VEN hardware ids of the bluetooth device? The image below shows an example of what we need to identify the device properly.

  • MS-6195 memory upgrade

    Hi,
    My system is based on Ms-6195 K7 pro and Athlon 700 mhz. 192 Mb Ram (128Mb module + 64Mb module)
    Problem:
    when I try to upgrade memory with a sdram 256Mb PC100 module, the memory test can't finish and my system don't boot.
    Please can you tell me how configure coreectly the BIOS or tell how to do.

    MS-6195 memory upgrade.
     I have also tried using new PC100 256Mb memory and am getting nowhere.
    The ones that I have bought are single sided, [8 chips on only one side]
    and do not work with my motherboard, however, if I put them into another,
    older PC, it shows up as 128Mb.
    So I assume that the DIMM is working OK, and that the 'old' PC has a memory size limitation??
    I have tried the same things as wbs and Grommit and got the same results.
    So I assume that the answer is in getting older DIMMs, double sided with 8 chips on either side.
    Does this seem to be about right???

  • Memory upgrade fail - Kernel panic after put old memories back

    I People, this is my first post here and unfortunately is to report a problem, not to help friends.
    I did an memory upgrade last weekend. After this, he will not boot normally, only in safe mode.
    I discovered that they sent me 1333Mhz memories, and my mac (mid 2009) supports only 1066Mhz.
    I put the old memories again, however I believe that the system did not recognize.
    As you can see below, the system recognizes two modules:
    Memory Module: BANK 0/DIMM0, 4 GB, DDR3, 1067 MHz, 0x80CE, 0x4D34373142353237334448302D4348392020
    Memory Module: BANK 1/DIMM0, 4 GB, DDR3, 1067 MHz, 0x80CE, 0x4D34373142353637334648302D4346382020
    It is not true, I' using now 2 x 2GB, DDR3, 1067 Mhz (stock)
    I tried to reinstall the system, but when I try, I got crash again.
    how can I solve this issue?

    Hi BGreg,
    I already reset the PRAM as you said.
    I've cleaned the memory modules as indicated by Linc above.
    Today I formatted my harddrive to try a clean install, but system crashs after 5%, 10%.
    There is something making me worried:
    In one of my tries, I opened the system view to check my actual hardware configuration, and to my surprise, the system shows me 8GB installed. Cannot be. I have 2 x 2GB.
    Where my system stores this information? There is a way to reset it? I tried last hour install the snow leopard, that cames with my mac, by DVD, but does not worked too.
    Thank you all so far.
    Giuliano
