Are you sure they are compatible?

To OP, make sure that you can return it. Crucial is 100% compatible, maybe not the best looking, but works

Click to expand...

You can mix RAM, however your PC will run RAM at the slowest stick speed, so if your original RAM is slower than Crucial, when you install Crucial, it will work at the speed of your original RAM.
But you must mix pairs only to avoid issues.
