Computer won't start with new RAM

Right so I had 2 4GB sticks of RAM in my motherboard and all was working well. Bought an 8GB stick today so I have 16GBs of memory, but the computer does not start with them all together - the new 8GB stick works on its own but not with the others.

Now I am assuming they are not working together because the sticks are not compatible, but I don't understand why - all three sticks are DDR3 and 2600MHz

Any help would be appreciated!!

Check your manual, you might not be able to use 3 sticks like that. And it is not recommended anyway. Buy ram in pairs, so you can use dual channel.
