So I'm upgrading from 4GB of RAM to 8GB and bought the exact same model that is currently in my PC.

When I put the new one in and turn the PC on, it keeps on starting and then cutting out after a few seconds then starting again. This happens repeatedly without anything ever coming on the monitor.

What could be causing this?

Q:
I want to install more memory, in addition to my existing memory kit. What are my options?

A:
We do not recommend mixing memory kits, regardless of brand or model.

By mixing memory kits together, there may be compatibility issues such as unable to boot or unable to operate at rated specifications.

Each of our memory kit are thoroughly tested to ensure compatibility within each memory kit. And because we have not tested our memory kit with your existing memory kit, we cannot guarantee compatibility when multiple kits are used.

You need to male sure your ram is in the right slots as per your motherboard manuel. Then if so try the new ram by itself.
if the new ram does not work right then it is bad.
Also please post your computer specs.
