Trying to install 2 more 8GB memory to my asus z370-E motherboard with i7-8700k.

I bought the same exact model that's in there now 2x8GB G.Skill TridentZ RGB 3200C16D-16GRZR CL16-18-1838 1.35v to get from 16GB to 32GB.

I try adding the 2 additional memory sticks and it just starts and stops immediately. If I take them out then it works fine again. I tried tweaking the memory setting in the BIOs with 2 memory sticks but the same result of just power up and power offs immediately.

 
Memory is guaranteed in the form sold. Adding extra memory, regardless of brand, model number, has no guarantee to be compatible with existing memory.

Since nothing is stopping you from making such combinations, you are free to do your own compatibility testing with no guarantees.
