The memory is a low priced single module.
https://www.amazon.com/HYNIX-PC3-10600U-MEMORY-MODULE-HMT325U6BFR8C-H9/dp/B00BZ9LM52

Modules sold as singles can give varying results when combined. The rated speeds of any memory are guaranteed to be obtainable only in the kit it is sold in. If you are adding an additional pieces of single memory, the memory may not work due to the extra stress on the memory controller. Therefore, you will need to relax the timings and/or frequencies in order to get more than one of memory modules to work. Another option you may need to do is increase the dram voltages or reducing the CPU multiplier.
