I had old memory Kingstone Ram 9-9-9-24 1.5V /1333 2x2=4GB and it's working fine for years

Now i purchased new memory (Corsair) 9-9-9-24 1.5V /1333 4x4=8GB, I removed the old ram and whenever i try to add the new memory the mobo keeps long peep 3 times then stop then peeping again with the same way and the screen is just black showing nothing , can't even see the bios screen or anything, I tried to add only one slot 4GB and swapping the ram or the sockets but still the same issue

if you check the below URl it's compatible wit the motherboard

Also there's a bios update for ram compatibility but it's beta version, shall i risk and update it ?!

here's my full HW specs:

CPU: Intel core 2 quad Q9650
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-EP45T-UD3LR
Graphic Card: ATI Sapphire Radeon HD 4890
Old working memory : Kingstone 9-9-9-24 1.5V /1333 2x2=4GB
New memory (Issue) (Corsair) 9-9-9-24 1.5V /1333 4x4=8GB
HDD: Samsung SSD 850 EVO

Thanks
 
Solution
Yes you should risk it, if you want the memory to work..... unless you had an overclock on the cpu before you tried to replace the ram., put the old ram in and remove the overclock, unlink the ram then try again.
