Solution
Because of variations in memory characteristics, even for memory with the same part number, the additional memory may or may not work properly with the existing memory. Also, using four memory modules puts strain on the system and might result in slight drop of available memory frequency.

It is recommended to use a 2 x 4 GB dual channel kit instead to replace the existing memory. The existing memory could be sold or kept as spare/back up.

Some suggested compatible 2 x 4 GB memory kits are -

Crucial part number BLS2KIT4G3D1609DS1S00, also known as part number CT4075790

Crucial part number BLS2K4G3D169DS3J, also known as part number CT5792664
