I just purchase (2x 8GB DDR3 1866MHz PC3-14900R). I was trying to upgrade my current (1x 4GB DDR3 PC3-10700)<I couldn't find the MHz for it. So... when i received the new rams i immediately swapped it. Then i started hearing beeping sounds, i took one new rams out and place the old ram next to the new one (2nd Slot) Here : https://imgur.com/84bHT7E (I basically bonded the new ram with the old ram)

After doing that it worked, but the thing is..... CPUZ showed up with 12GB (Here: https://imgur.com/AYPv6C5) memory size but System Information showed up with 4 GB (Here: https://imgur.com/VYUCdXQ)

Here is Slot #1(New One) : https://imgur.com/aIRNaYX
Here is the old Ram Slot#2: https://imgur.com/DUb487Q

My CPU : https://imgur.com/mREKw0Z


Here is the link for my PC`s components: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03141285.


So my question is what is happening.....?
I also heard of increasing the Voltage for the new ram ik it is set to 1.50V but my bios does not have the options to do it.

Can someone please help me out?
