You might have a chipset that dont support that particular memory organisation.
I know for sure that certain old Intel chipsets (cant remember the exact numbers anymore though) only support large memory modules if they were organised in a specific way. This has something to do with the number of chips, banks etc.
Another possibility could be that your mobo requires RAM with parity ?

Hey there,

You can find the product specification for your Pavilion PC here:

http://www.hp.com/cposupport/prodh [...] 22439.html

The RAM memory type listed in your system is "SDRAM, Intel PC SDRAM unbuffered DIMM specification, revision 1.0 compliant".

The most likely circumstance is the RAM you recently purchased is high density which would be incompatible with your PC. Exchange the RAM and request low density.
