Asus M5A97 R2.0 Ram problem

[anybodysguess]

Hi, I built a computer, my first from NEW parts. I have built many from old leftover parts.
A Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard
AMD FX6200 Processor
And originally had 2 Corsair TR3X6G1600C9 2GB each No problems ran for almost a year.
I needed more ram.
ADDED two GSkill F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL 4GB each.
After a few days started getting BSODs removed one of the new sticks, No more BSOD.
Ran like this for about a month, 8GB total, 2 corsair, and one gskil. I was fine with that, but now BSOD again. It will run fine on the two original corsair ram sticks though.
Any ideas? The specs on these rams are identical.
No overclocking, all bios except boot order is stock.
bios is updated.

Thanks

Nothing much to do actually, it's known that sticks from different brands do not get along well. Look at what timings/ speed they're actually running at, through BIOS or CPU-Z.

I know generally you shouldn't mix, but I haven't had problems doing so in the past, and the thing is ALL specs of the two different rams are the same except size. Voltage. Speed. Latency, its all the same.

The thing is the Coisair set was actually a set of 3 and it did the same thing, with the 3 it bsod all the time, with only 2 it works great. and they were all the same.

Differenciate, by set of 3 do you mean a 'company sealed pack of 3 sticks for triple channel'? Model numbers would be helpful. And fyi, I'm running a Geil and Corsair stick in my old prebuilt, with EVERY setting different, haven't had a BSoD due to memory in 7 years. Does that mean I should recommend mixing sticks? No, it's more like a gamble, you may succed once, twice, maybe thrice, but there's no garuantee it'd work out as expected.

It wasn't a sealed package, it was given to me, but yes it was for triple channel. My uncle gave it to me, was working when he removed from his system.
Would you recommend changing the settings from "auto" to manually imputing the specs of the ram?
Auto underclocks a little. Should I leave it under clocked if I were to manually input specs? I don't have cooling ON the ram except for the original metal fins on both.

I'd suggest looking up for the setting for all the 3 sticks (2 corsair 1 G.Skill I assume), and matching them, or bring them to lowest possible combo. Again, model number of all sticks and current BIOS settings will be helpful to me.

The Ram model numbers are in the OP and the up to date asus bios is stock.

Go in BIOS, memory section, and check for Speed and Timings for each slot. If all are at 1600Mhz and 9-9-9-24, then you're out of luck, as there isn't anything much more we can do.
