Why doesn't my new RAM work?

My motherboard is the ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO. I decided to get som more RAM for it, and went for 16 GB (4x4) by Crucial:

After installing it my PC didn't want to boot. It revs up and all, but the screen never gets a signal. I thought I might have missed something regarding compatibility, but from what I can find it should work with my board. I tried it a couple of times, but to no evail. Finally I put back my old ones (also by Crucial (2x2), and everything worked great.

Ideas anyone?
 
Most likely one or more of the sticks are bad. Remove one stick at a time until it boots up.
