Installed New Ram, PC Randomly freezes, help please

[John_215]

My system is a XPS 8300, i had 4x Samsung 2GB 1RX8 DDR3 PC3-10600U 1333MHz 240PIN DIMM RAM Desktop memory running at 1.5v in system, i have replaced it with -

Crucial 4GB (1x 4GB) PC1600 CL11 DDR3 SIMM RAM Memory Module running at 1.5v, i have 4 slots in my PC, each bit of ram is identical, i've run the windows memory test says there is no problems, both Ram run at same voltage, before buying new ram i ran the crucial memory scanner to determine compatible ram for my system, i'm at a loss, it happened when i started my pc up today but yesterday i was able to start pc up and be on it for about 10 hours playing games and all sorts no problem.

Any Advice you can give would be really helpful

Thanks

I did not have any problems with my old 8 gig, i've been reading previous answers to similar questions, and they suggest it could be dust but its new ram and i made sure no dust in slots before putting in, so could be a PSU problem not enough power for new RAM, i just assumed 16 would use Same as 8 gig since they were same Voltage, tried removed one 4 gig from first slot to see if i freeze still, going to do that with each RAM piece to see if its the RAM or w/e
