First: ensure your current 4G is one module. More likely, the system shipped with 2X2.
Second: skip all "Value" RAM (Kingston KVR, Corsair "Value Select", etc.). It's generally sloppy-tolerance, cheap memory.
Third: don't mix DDR3 with DDR3L. The exception: there are dual-voltage modules that can run at both 1.35 and 1.5V (Crucial generally sells these).
You likely need a pair of 4G modules -- not just one 4G unit.
