Hello guys, so I got my replacement RAM yesterday and when I put them both in my new PC, I don't get a post. Everything turns on, just no post and there is a red light to indicate that something is wrong with DRAM. I tried using them alone and nothing worked. I put both sticks individually into my old PC and they worked just fine. (I had to put them individually because there were clearance issues with the optical drive since it's a ITX from HP) Anyways, if needed my specs are:
Intel Core i7-4790K
GTX 980 ACX 2.0 SC
WD Black 2TB HDD
Samsung 840 Evo 250GB
700W Coolmax Modular PSU
ASUS Z97-AR (Not A. AR.)
 
Previously this system ran with 1 stick of 8GB RAM and the other was faulty. Both work now but I don't know what's wrong. The RAM is Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 1866Mhz.
 
Please I need fast help I have relatives coming over soon and I want to *wow* them with my new fancy PC :(

    Two things to try.
     
    1) Clear CMOS if you haven't..Try again.
     
    2) Press and hold the MemOK! button until it (DRAM LED) begins flashing and auto-configures the RAM.

    If clearing CMOS don't work, update to the latest BIOS if needed..Go from there.
