Do the old RAM sticks still work?

laci90 · Apr 23, 2015

yeah they do

I'd say the new sticks are dead.
Can you test them in another system?

You tried that memory by itself without the old stick installed too?

Get a refund/replacement of the new sticks then.

my cpu doesn't support 1600mhz but it downclocks automatically since my other ram stick is 1600mhz and still works at 1333mhz so the problem isn't my cpu or the motherboard,right?

The RAM isn't working, your old RAM does. Get a refund/replacement of the new sticks.
