I recently purchased an HP 8200 SFF with an i5 2500, and 4 Gb of ram (2x2GB) (10600U).
I added in a 1050ti and purchased 8GB of ram (2x4gb) (10600R, it also says ERDIMM I think this may be the issue) upon placing the ram into the pc and booting up, it wasn't recognized. From there i took out the 4GB that was in before and tried placing in the 8GB only, and the ram sticks alone (1 4GB stick). After nothing working i read something online about Memory remapping feature, I was unable to locate it in the HP bios (the bios is called computer setup, not sure if that is a different thing, it is accessed through clicking esc, as oppose to the normal f10 for hp). When i put in the 8GB alone, it gives off the beep codes of no memory being placed into the PC. Other than this, everything else is working.
Other things: Windows 7 64 Bit, going upgrade to W10 as soon as I sort this out. If I missed anything, please ask me.

What you have is registered memory (R) with Error checking and correction,ECC (E).
So it will not work in your motherboard.
It is for servers and high end workstations.
You need regular DDR3 memory. The 10600 says that your original memory is 1333 speed but 1600 will work 99.99 % of the time.

I'm not sure what "ERDIMM" is but RDIMM stands for registered memory (sometimes called buffered memory) and it requires different circuitry on the motherboard. It's usually used in servers.

You are probably correct in assuming that is the problem. Memory remapping, even if it was in the BIOS, would not help the problem. You will need to find other RAM.

UDIMM stands for unregistered memory (sometimes called unbuffered), but you don't see that much in the advertising. The majority of consumer RAM sold these days is UDIMM.

You should probably check the HP web site for compatible RAM for the specific motherboard or computer model. You might even have to buy it from them.
