New RAM Problems involving BSOD

[gxdofsiege6]

So I had 16GB of DDR4 G Skill RAM running at 3000mhz already in my pc but I added 16GB more of the same brand and same speed and I would have weird problems like getting BSOD randomly (The BSOD error message said memory management) and I would even get google chrome crashes (It would say something like "Aw snap something went wrong displaying this webpage"). I couldnt even load up a game because it would just close when I got to the main menu. I tried factory resetting windows which didnt work then I ran the memory test built into windows and it said there was hardware problems detected so I sent back the RAM and got a replacement and it just came today. So far my pc had a 1 BSOD crash (Memory management error code again) and idk what to do. I dont want to say this new ram is defective again because its really odd how the replacement would also be defective. My ram in the UEFI is also set to XMP which is setting my speeds to 3000MHz if that matters. I just dont know how I should go about this. I dont want to wait til the last minute before its too late to return it if it is defective.

Well, I had the same problems you describe with my PC. Not BSOD but random things like Chrome crashing, or I was not able to open any game at all too. I suggest you deactivate XMP profile, then run Memtest86 (https://www.memtest86.com/) and let the program make its work for a few hours. Then see if there is any error.

(My problem was finally a faulty i5 8600-K. Unbelievable but true; although I don't think that this would be your problem as your PC started failing since you added more RAM.)

Yea Ill try that out. And now that im thinking about it, I feel like the new ram I bought has a different latancy then the ram that was previously in my pc. Maybe that could be why?

Yes, perhaps that's what is making your PC unstable. This post talks about that (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/270753-30-mixing-latency-size).

Thank u very much! And I just found out that the latency is different on the new RAM I bought. Kinda makes sense now.

Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
A motherboard must manage all the ram using the same specs of voltage, cas and speed.
The internal workings are designed for the capacity of the kit.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards, can be very sensitive to this.
This is more difficult when more sticks are involved.
That is why ram vendors will NOT support ram that is not bought in one kit.

If you do buy more disparate sticks, they must be the same speed, voltage and cas numbers.
Even then your chances of working are less than 100%

Explicitly set all the ram to the same common specs.

Sometimes increasing the ram voltage in the bios is necessary make things work.
