Solution
then put them back in slot 1 and 2 try to use the new ram in slot 1 and let system detect it then after put old ram in slot 2 and how system detect both if you could post a clear picture of the motherboard with all the parts and number we could see .


What is your motherboard / system model ?
 


i dont know its the motherboard i got with the pc. its acers own here is a pic http://imgur.com/CQQyApI

here its what windows think i have and havent put them in dual channel cuss that make bios bib (i have 2 diffrent ram sticks not from same company)
 


it says acer inc lan id:98eecb26bfd9
right under that it says
db.b1411.001
under that
dbb14110015450210a30a1
 
that the number of board but could not find any details on her db.b1411.001 and this lead to a intel board b150 ,did you try to put i ram module in slot i and the other in slot 3 to see how windows will detect them that the most i could not able to find info on the motherboard maker .
 


I have but the bios Sound made bibs
