Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
A motherboard must manage all the ram using the same specs of voltage, cas and speed.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards, particularly AMD can be very sensitive to this.
This is more difficult when more sticks are involved.
That is why ram vendors will NOT support ram that is not bought in one kit.
My only suggestion is to install two working sticks and enter the bios.
There, increase the ram voltage a notch.
Shut down and try adding the two remaining sticks.
Sometimes adding voltage will make things work.
