Questions about mixing DDR4

[uSavagePatchKid]

Long ago when DDR4 was reasonably priced, I purchased a kit of two 4GB sticks from Crucial for $50. A few months ago, I bought a 4GB stick of Samsung RAM from HP for $27. When I put the sticks together, it would cause my computer to blue screen. Are there any settings in the BIOS or in control panel that I can tweak that would allow the sticks to work?

RAM is only guaranteed to work in the kits its sold in, sometimes you can add in extra sticks and it will work, but if the RAM works on its own but not in tandem with the other RAM, it likely wont work.

Usually what I suggest when buying more RAM is to try and find the same make/model when possible. If not consider the next speed or two up similar model same make. If not that, then buy new sticks in the size you need.
