Basically, I've got this MSI Z97 Gaming-5 and 8GB (4GB x2) of DDR3 RAM (1333). I got the exact same RAM to upgrade to 16GB (4GB x4) and with the two new RAM sticks installed, my PC just resets. Currently have the two new RAM sticks out, but I'm seeking a solution for this. Peering all over the board for a BIOS reset switch and I'm seeing absolutely nothing. Any suggestions?

Edit: Figured it out. It was the RAM sticks. Dead on arrival. Sorry.

I just found it. Should there be a plastic cap there? I don't see one.
