BSOD is usually memory related. Even though you have exactly the same brand / model number there can be occasions when the manufacturer uses different RAM chips to populate the modules.

Can you boot into BIOS with both sticks installed ?

I have used these RAM sticks in the past in my old computer and it has worked fine?
