Windows 10: Getting blue screens after installing a new stick of RAM. Need some help.

So i recently bought a second stick of 8gb 3000mhz RAM, so i could upgrade my pc from 8gbs to 16gbs. I installed the ram onto my motherboard, having the sticks at slots 2 and 4 so i could use the dual channel, and excitedly booted up my system. After my pc booted up,i checked task manager and, there it was, 15,9gbs of ram BUT i got a bluescreen. My friend who's a little more experienced with pc building said it perfectly normal to get a bluescreen after installing a new stick. Flash forward 2 weeks later. When i'm using the computer for games or regular tasks it works fine. No BS, no crashing. HOWEVER whenever i boot up my system, there's a change at either the log in screen for windows, or when i'm at the desktop right after i've booted up, that i get a bluescreen, and the computer has bluescreened once after sitting idle for an hour or so but that hasn't come up again. In these two weeks a gotten the following stop codes;

SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP

Now i know that is most likely the ram stick at fault, but it seems bizarre to me that this happens only on boot up and the computer reads both stick perfectly fine, and both work when under heavy use. So if anyone could throw their two cents, i would appreciate it

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.
