Old Ram: F4-2400C15D-8GVR (GSkill Ripjaw V)
New Ram: F4-2400c15D-16GTZR (Gskill Trident Z)
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H110M-A, Bios F5 (this seems out of date but newer versions are for newer chipsets?)
So in June in purchased the Trident Z and went from 8 to 16 gigs of ram. After about two days of use, I got a BSOD and a bootloop, so I took it out, tested my old ram (the Ripjaw V) and everything worked fine. I was in the middle of summer classes so I left it as is for a bit. The other day I decided to troubleshoot this new ram, I inserted it to test again. Everything worked fine so I thought, okay maybe it wasn't seated correctly as it's not as easy to push in as the Ripjaw was. Again, after what I think is almost exactly two days, I got a BSOD. This time it just restarted and started working again but in the two months I was running the Ripjaw V memory again I had zero errors. After about an hour things froze, I had to restart and it started error processing.
I had set up a minidump, but I'm not sure if populated properly since I had to manually restart and the time created on the file seems early to me. I am back using my old ram again so I can post. I am going to update my bios but I'm getting concerned about continually crashing to test, especially if when I put it back in the crashes don't appear for another few days (which has happened 2 out of 2 times so far).

This is a picture of my original ram (the Ripjaw V) and the picture of the tag for the Trident Z
These are the only differences I noticed in my Bios when looking at the memory settings for the individual channels. The tRFC for the trident Z was 374 and the tRFC for the Ripjaw V was 278. No idea if this matters, all other memory settings seemed to match (voltage and stuff). Have shots of those if needed.
Thanks a ton, any help appreciated! I dont want to try to get a replacement if the RAM isnt the issue.
