When you boot the laptop up,when it says system memory has changed,hit f12 key and select dell diagnostics.Run the memory tests(it will set memory allocation for the change) and let it reboot,it should work now.If it does not and you recieve errors one or both of the sticks are bad.

Could also of been a dodgy system you bought. Make sure you install matching pairs.
