Right I presume the old stick was in slot one, or should of been.
You say one slot is burned, so that maybe a sign of when a memory stick was fitted it was seated wrong.
Or placed or forced in the wrong way around.

That will damage the memory controller of the motherboard.
leading to one memory dimm socket broke.

Always put the slowest speed of ram in the first socket.
Then fit. the new memory module in the second slot.

Then you need to go into the bios of the motherboard.

Where is says about the memory you should have settings.
Now you need to check that the timings for the memory are set manually to the lowest set of latency values.
And that the voltage is correct.

When ever you buy more memory for a system to expand it via the memory slots of the motherboard.

You are always advised to take the old memory stick out and check it`s values located on a sticker of the memory stick.

They must match, in speed, voltage and timing settings.
For example the new stick states 4-4-4-12 latency timings.

Dual channel mode will not be enabled and the second memory slot will be ignored.

hi, i only bought this that they were matching up but may be there is something wrong with latency which is on transcend case is: Max clock Freq: 400MHZ; 800Mb/S/Pin, Programmable CAS Latency: 4, 5, 6, JEDEC standard 1.8V ± 0.1V Power supply.

And my current ram says latency : 3, 4, 5 but speed is same pls suggest how to fiz this or how to make this ram work out
