2x4gb works, but, 4x4gb of identical RAM doesn't.

[BrassBison]

So for a while I've had 2x4gb sticks of Corsair vengeance lpx ddr4 2400mhz RAM and everything was fine. About a month ago, I purchased an identical set (Corsair vengeance lpx 2x4gb 2400mhz) making it 16gb, and, it was working until yesterday when my pc froze, it did it again today twice and on the second time I got the blue screen. kernel_security_check_failure.

Help.

The most likely cause is a defective stick from the new set. Take out the old sticks and one of the new ones, do whatever you do as usual for the day. If you get a bluescreen the stick is defective, if you don't get a bluescreen try the same thing with the second new stick.

Bump your memory voltage up 0.05 volts and run memtest over nite.
