Since you don't mention what OS you're running all i can do is suggest you go here for some OS memory limitations.

I think the problem might be with the 4 gb you added

remove the 8GB and put the 4 GB only to see if the computer will find it

if it does then you are sure that the 4 gb is fine all you have to do is find out what muximum memory can your computer upgrade, you check on the user manual.

Put the 8gb with one of the 2gbs, this time swipe slots see if your computer can find the 10gb

Hope that is helpful.
