Hi all, I got a pc that currently has 8gb of RAM 2 sticks of 4gb gskill. The board is asrock z77 extreme4. The tech document says I can use a wide range of ddr3 sticks. Now I bought an 8gb ram stick and put it in another slot (black) the other 2 are blue and used by 2 sticks and pc wouldn't startup. Do I need 2x of 8gb ram sticks or what am I missing?

I was thinking below RAM 8gb stick but wondering if I will have the same issue, nothing is really all that different
