It's ECC memory. It's not meant to work with consumer desktop PC's, it's for servers.

I wanted to upgrade the ram for the OptiPlex 790sff and got this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/8GB-KIT-2-x-4GB-HP-Compaq-ProLiant-ML350p-G8-DDR3-PC3-10600R-ECC-REG-Ram-Memory/221798234930?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

Is there a reason as to why it's not working? My system won't even boot up.

I'm so dumb thanks for the clarification. 

All good man, just make sure you check what you're buying, we've all done it before.
