I purchased a computer used a little bit ago and have wanted to install some upgrades. I have upgraded the power supply as well as upgraded from 8 to 16gb of ram and now the computer will not post.
Unchanged Parts:
i5 6600k
Asrock Z170 Pro4s (BIOS is latest version P7.50)
Team MP33 256GB NVME
Changed Parts:
Old: 2x4gb G.skill Ripjaws V F4-3200C16D-8GVK
New: 2x8gb G.skill Aegis F4-2666C19S-8GIS
Old: Apevia Captain Power 550w
New: Corsair TX650M Gold
I am at a loss for what to do to make this ram work and am looking for ideas of what else to do.

- Reseated the new ram kit
- Tried a single Aegis stick
- Reseated CPU
- Cleared CMOS using jumper and removing the CMOS battery
- Tested the Aegis ram in another computer with an 8th gen i5 and it posted on first try.
- Reinstalled the old Ripjaws ram into this computer and it works fine
- Checked and BIOS version is on the latest P7.5 dated 2018.
