Some sticks of RAM just won't work together, even if they're the exact same model. That's why manufacturers sell memory in kits, instead of as separate sticks.
So there's really nothing you can do about this if it's the sticks. Try using a single stick in different slots, and see if it still crashes. If it does then it could be a motherboard issue, otherwise it's just the sticks not working together.
