hey guys, i have an HP pavillion p7 1287c, CPU-Z reports that my pc is working on a Foxconn 2ADA motherboard, socket 1155
i have one stick of 4gb ddr3 ram 1600mhz (running at 1333) which is not enough for my needs
i wanted to upgrade to 8gbs, i bought another 4gb stick but after a lot of testing, i figured out my second RAM slot isn't working, when a stick is installed there, my pc boot on a permanent blackscreen without any bips
i have the same problem as this guy (seems he had one 8gb stick working)

the question is, does my motherboard really support a stick of 8GB, or do i have to change the motherboard to be able to install my 2 4gb sticks?
changing the RAM will cost me less money i guess, i just want to be safe
