[SOLVED] Bought an extra stick of ram now crashes

[Turbo1994]

I bought a new stick of ram in addition to my old one (the one in my sig I bought the same one) and now with both of them in the pc I get random bsods while on google chrome and such but when I start up a game like assassins creed origins it almost crashes within a minute.
Now I have tried both sticks seperately and everything is fine no crashes but once I have them both in ( in the correct slots) it starts crashing again, I checked with cpu-z if the frequencies are the same and they are indeed the same frequency.
Anyone has any ideas ?

Very common to have identical memory modules , purchased separately , not be compatible. That is why they are best purchased as a set.

Hmm you'd recommend just getting a complete new kit of 2x 8B then ?

That is usually the best way to proceed.

Ok I'll check into it also, 2x8 or 1x16 because I've seen some 16gb sticks that were definitely compatible with my mobo. Oh and I turned on xmp and have let the game run for a bit now did the benchmark aswell and no crash as of yet so but if that fails I'll just go and get new ram oh and thanks for the help!

2x8 will run in Dual Channel mode.
Hopefully your current memory keeps running well!

2 sticks in the same blister pack are checked by the factory out of the thousands of sticks produced daily as being compatible to work well with each other. 2 sticks, even identical, from 2 different blister packs are not factory tested, that makes you the tester. In this case, the ram you are now testing fails, so you can either spend lots of time in returns/rma (which makes nobody happy other than the mailman/ups/fed-ex) or replace with 2 sticks somebody already guarantees work.

Ah yeah true and yeah I hope so too the game has been running for 30 mins now whereas it would crash within 5 before so we'll see

Good Luck , hopefully it remains stable and performs well.

Ah never knew it was factory tested to work together thought they just put em in but I'll definitely buy a kit of 2 if this fails more thanks!

That shouldn't matter the set should still be compatible.
