I am looking to replace my current memory according to crucial:
Memory:
DDR3 PC3-12800, DDR3 PC3-10600
Memory Type: DDR3 PC3-12800, DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 (non-ECC)
Maximum Memory: 16GB
Currently Installed Memory: 4GB
Total Memory Slots: 4
Available Memory Slots: 2

I'm looking to replace it with this:

First I tried to just replace the old set with the new. Didn't work, beeped three times and wouldn't start. I tried everything that I could find to be the problem ( not set right, take battery out of bios, try adding ram one at a time, try adding it with old ram) still nothing works. I'm getting frustrated any idea what I can do to make this work?
