Hi, so i recently wanted to upgrade my stationary computer from 8 gb DDR4-2400 mhz corsair Vengeance LPX with an identical copy to a total of 16 gb of RAM. However whenever i install the new RAM my computer will recognize the two sticks and boot correctly, however after 5-10 minutes of running everything will completely freeze, to the point where i have to manually force shut my PC. I have tried looking for solution online, however i cant seem to find any in which the two RAM sticks are identical. Would really appreciate any suggestions

My specs are:
CPU: intel core i7-7700
GPU: ASUS Geforce GTX 1070
mobo: ASUS prime b250m-a
RAM:
(old) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400 1.20 V version: 6.30
(new) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400 1.20 V version 6.39
PSU: Corsair CX 550

Is your motherboard updated to the latest BIOS and chipset driver updates? Many updates were issued to "Improve memory compatibility" and "Improve system stability".
