HELP!!! NEW MEMORY WON'T BOOT

[DDAce]

Bought a new HyperX Fury 4GB 2666mhz installed it into my computer and it won't work :((( I have an existing HyperX Fury 4gb 2400mhz and it works. Tried the 2666mhz into a different computer and it boots. Is my motherboard not compatible with it?

 

Tried to use ONLY the new Memory but still won't boot. Tried it on a different mobo but it worked. Does it mean Asus A320m-k is not compatible with the ram?

 

just black screen with no display on it. Would really appreciate if someone can help me with this. 

MOBO: ASUS PRIME A320M-K
CPU: AMD A10-9700
OLD RAM (Functioning): HyperX Fury DDR4 4gb 2400mhz

NEW RAM (Not Functioning on mobo but functions on Aorus b450 pro): HyperX Fury DDR4 4gb 2666mhz

Single stick of 4gb?  Is this maybe a laptop?

Yes. and is this computer a laptop computer?

 

 I ask because 4gb is not a lot of memory for a modern computer.   It is very possible that if this computer is a laptop computer there is additional OTHER memory in it as well, and if it does the memory must match or things will get confused.

As specified in the specs, I think it is already clear enough that this is a desktop computer. Not all people can afford stuff that is why we remain at 4gb for a modern computer. I also specified it that I tried it alone.

it is possible the motherboard has a problem with that memory.  Not super likely but possible.  Older a series motherboards were sometimes picky about memory.  Your motherboard should have a list of memory types and brands it was tested with.  I think it’s called a QVL list.  If the old memory is on it but the new memory is not it could conceivably be the problem.  If you wind up replacing the new memory I might suggest getting a stick identical to the first stick and using both at the same time.  Then you would have 8gb.
