I just bought a new ram a ddr3 kingston KVR16N11S8/4 1.5V and when i add it on my motherboard h55m-e32 it wont boot somehow.My cpu powers up but theres nothing on the screen,I checked all the cables theres nothing wrong with it.My old ram is mushkin 97664a.I have 2 slots for RAM when i try to use only the kingston ram it boots but keeps restarting at the windows logo screen and when i switch back to mushkin it wont boot at all,the only way i had to reboot was by resetting cmos by removing the battery.Help me please and i am using 64 bit windows.Im not a tech guy so please try to keep it simple if you can.Thank You.

You can increase voltage in the BIOS, or you can buy a matched pair of ram from mushkin that matches the stick you already have. Its not rocket science. You can't run both sticks you have now.

how to know if the ram is incompatible ? and the ram is seated all the way in.
 
Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards can be very sensitive to this.
That is why ram vendors will NOT support ram that is not bought in one kit.
Although, I think the problem has lessened with the newer Intel chipsets. Still,
it is safer to get what you need in one kit.

What if I'm a hot girl? What if I'm a lesbian?

Everyone knows there are no hot girls on the internet, only creepy old fat guys pretending to be hot girls.
