Do both sticks of RAM work in that one slot? On HP, and many systems that have intergrated video, the RAM must be in the first slot - usually labeled 1 or 0.
Did this just happen or is this a computer you just got/built? What to see on the screen? Hit ESC or TAB to clear the HP logo and check for errors.
"Do both sticks of RAM work in that one slot?"
The 2nd stick does work in the DIMM 1 slot. That answers that Question. Thank you.
"Did this just happen or is this a computer you just got/built?"
This is a computer I got from a friend after I did some work for him and helped him troubleshoot another problem. The PC worked when I turned it off about a year and a half ago. I turned it on to make sure I could sell it in a garage sale when this problem showed up. The work I did on this PC earlier was replace the power supply and re-sodder the power switch so it would turn on/off.

THe only thing on the screen is the HP logo. I hit ESC and TAB but nothing happens.
