I received a single stick of 8gb DDR3 1333 Ram from a friend, I tried installing it and all I get is a few seconds of power then the PC reboots in a loop, I checked and the stick is correctly and firmly inserted, when I insert my old Ram setup 2x4GB sticks it boots up correctly, I checked the motherboard specifications and it should be able to run this Ram

Motherboard - MSI H61M-P23 (MS-7680) (SOCKET 0)
Existing Ram - Corsair 4GB DDR3 1333 (x2)
Proposed Ram - ADATA DDR3 1333 (9) 8GX16 U-DIMM

Is the Ram bad or have I missed something and the Ram is not compatible?
Sorry if this question has previously been asked, I could not find a solution on my own.

I have tried the stick in different slots and same reboot loop occurs.
