New RAM with same specs besides size won't work

I just tried replacing my old 2GB RAM sticks with 2 new 8GB RAM sticks, besides the size, they have the exact same specifications. They both run at 1.35/1.5V, 1600MHZ, DDR3. The old is DDR3L, but the new is also specified to run at lower voltage. I have looked at the specs for my motherboard and it has 2 RAM slots both expandable up to 8GB. I know the slot type is the same, as they do fit in, and I have tried applying extra pressure to insert them as far as they will go, but when I start up my machine the monitors come up black and it makes a continuous beeping sound. I can hear the fans run and the lights all come on. Thank you for taking the time to read my question, and especially for any responses.

If your motherboard supported 8 GB expendables then follow the steps below:

  • Remove both the RAM and clean the slot carefully. The RAM slot must clean and remove carbons from points.
  • Now clean your RAM pins and insert single RAM in a slot and turn on your PC. If your PC is working means your board is not able to handle high capacity of RAM.
  • Now, do the same thing with another slot to confirm there is no fault in the slot.
