Put the 2X4 back in and increase the voltage to 1.3 volts save and exit, turn off and unplug the PC put in the 8gb stick and see if it boots with all 3 sticks.

That board can run faster memory at 1.35 volts so 1.3 is not going to hurt anything. You could even go to 1.4 easy.

Return the 8GB stick and get a 2x4GB kit instead, it should preferably be of the same make as the current 2x4GB kit. Best is another kit of the exact same RAM, e.g. if the 2x4GB kit is a Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600GHz kit (hypothetically speaking), try get another of those. However, a different kit should work fine, too. It's still no guarantee - it never is - but the chance of this working is infinitely higher than what you are currently trying to do. Other option would be to get another 8GB stick of the same type as the one you are trying to use right now, and either try if it works if you put all for sticks in, or use the now 2x8GB combo by itself. You could also get a different 2x4GB kit and try that out, it's preferable to use the exact same RAM, but not necessary. Just be aware, though, that this, too, might not work.
