Can I add RAM to an already existing RAM ?

Can I mix 4gb ram(Transcend 4 GB DDR3- 1600 MHZ RAM) and add it to my already existing 4gb ram (kingston 99p5474-055.a00lf 1x4gb 4gb (1x4gb) ddr3 dimm 1600 mhz) ?

You can try it and see their no 100% guarantee when adding more memory even the same memory.

Basically yes you can, but there's like a 90% success rate.

What could be the reason if it doesn't work ?

It just doesn't like the other stick. Theres nothing you can do, it's just why ram is sold in pairs.
