I had 2x4 gb of Corsair Vengeance ram and wanted 16 so I bought the another 2x4 pack and whenever I add ram the computer gives errors on the motherboard and doesn't startup.
I've tested all the pieces of ram and they all work. The version of the corsair vengeance is different. The old is 7.12 and the new is 8.23. I've tested all my motherboard slots and they work.
I can put two sticks of ram but when I put in more, my pc doesn't start. I can even combine one of the old sticks and one of the new sticks and they work fine. The sticks besides the version number are identical. All are 1600 mhz and have the same item number which is CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9. Is there any way to get them to work? I've tried doing research and I know now that you shouldn't combine ram sets but I thought I could.
EDIT: I didn't think I was very clear. I had 8 gb of ram but I am trying to add another 8 to make 16 but whenever I add in the new ram my PC doesn't start. self built pc i7 4790k, gtx1070, z97x Gaming 7 mobo
