My Essentio C1730 has 7 GB of ram already and I bought this :
4GB DDR3 1333MHz PC3-10600 240 pin DESKTOP Memory Non ECC 1333 Low Density RAM. It seems to match specs. When I install the 4 additional GB, the computer fails to go through the boot process and lights right back up when I take it out. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
 
Solution
Use CPU-Z to determine at what speed/timings/voltages does the RAM sticks installed are at. Check the timings/voltages of the RAM you bought in new. All these three variables should be same to work as laptops have locked BIOS and we can't change/set them manually. Also, check the maximum compatible memory for your system at Asus website.
