HP ML 110 G6 not getting past POST with new memory fitted

[GuyJD]

We had our SQL upgraded last week to 2014 and since then SIMS has been really slow, I applied some fixes from a thread I saw on here yesterday which seems to have made things better but I also ordered some more RAM as the server only had 4GB after a little research it seems the official maximum amount of RAM for this server is 16GB so I went ahead and ordered some, it arrived yesterday and I fitted it at the end of the school day but with the new RAM fitted it freezes on POST, it will start to register the new RAM and then freeze at around 3GB.

 

I've put the old RAM back in for now and have downloaded a BIOS update to run later today but failing that I'm stumped as to why it's not working.

 

This is the Crucial scan result Computer memory and SSD upgrades scan results for HP - Compaq ProLiant ProLiant ML110 G6 from Crucial

 

I ordered 2 of the 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 PC3-12800 Unbuffered ECC 1.35V 512Meg x 72

 

Now I know that the Crucial scanner has been known to be wrong but from what I can see this stuff should be working, anyone got any ideas?

According to the HP specs for that server it only supports up to 1333Mhz and the memory you have is 1600. Have you checked the BIOS (assuming you can get in) to ensure its suitably down-clocked the memory and adjusted the timings? It could be causing it to stall.

faulty module?

some servers are very fussy about type (some will only support the vendors ram) and the order of installed ram in terms of which slots its installed in. id check the manual.

I assumed the BIOS should automatically down-clock the memory but I'll double check

I don't think it's a faulty module as I tried 2 of them installed singularly and still have the same stop at 3GB

HP proliant memory has to be populated in a particular order. See http://h22195.www2.hp.com/MemoryTool/Home/Legal

Thanks @Alis_Klar, I've just forwarded that on to my supplier at Edsure and he's going to get the memory I have swapped out. Edited June 2, 2015 by GuyJD
