Chances are you're using DDR, not DDR3L which is what you need. The standard spec for DDR3 was 1.5v, DDR3L is 1.35v and is needed so you don't eventually fry the memory controller on kabylake. So I'd look at budgeting for new RAM.
*edit Rexper also nails it with the chipset issues. I don't belive there is a kabylake chipset that does DDR3L, so you'd need to have access to a skylake CPU to update the firmware of the motherboard. If you don't know someone with a CPU you can borrow you'd have to pay someone to do it for you, which eats up any savings you would have had by sticking with your older RAM. Overall it's just not worth it to try and stick to the old generation of RAM.
