Windows 10: Crashing to black screen on two sticks of RAM

Usually, about 20 minutes into a game or application my PC will either freeze, or go to black screen and my only option is to hard restart by shutting down. Sometimes the RAM light will turn on or the the only way to get my PC to boot back up is to remove a RAM stick and put it back in.So I believe my issue is RAM related and I do the related troubleshooting steps. I test the RAM sticks individually and test them in different slots but the conclusion I come to is that the problem occurs when I have two RAM sticks in doesn't matter which DIMM slots.

Blue Screen and application crashes after adding new RAM stick

Hi,

After installing new RAM stick my Windows keeps closing some apps by itself (Chrome browser for example).

I also get blue screens of many different types but one of them was memory failure. The RAM sticks are not the same

but they have the same speed and voltage. BIOS sees them both and correctly shows speed and amount of memory.

I tried to "make" the PC crash by opening hundred of Chrome tabs but task manager shown that memory is working correctly

(using 12 out of 16gb so 2 8gb ram sticks must have worked). Unfortunately when I get into games I either get blue screen or

app crashes. I tested it in League of Legends and Vampyr. I have Asus Z370-p motherboard, i5 8400 and GTX 1060 6gb.

Is buying 2 exactly the same ram sticks necesarry to solve this issue?

Thanks for the help in advance.
