So I've been trying to install 4x4gb ram for a while now. So far from what I've Googled, there shouldnt be a problem with my specs.

Computer runs perfectly fine with 2x4gb.

When I install 4x4gb the computer turns on, but the monitor,keyboard and mouse arent "recognized" aka not responding, cant access Boot either.

Solution
Corsair as well as other memory manufacturers don't guarantee using multiple memory kits will be compatible together. As the old memory has never been tested with the new memory, you will be the first to try without any guarantees.

Memory is guaranteed in the form sold. Using a single kit is recommended.
