Are you overclocking your memory? The new RAM should be put in the same color slot that your pre-existing ram is in. Make certain it is full seated. The locking tabs engage, when the ram is full seated. If that does not help, try removing your existing RAM and replace it with the your new RAM. If it boots up do a memory check against it.
