Windows 10: Repetitive Blue Screens after installing new RAM, even after reinstalling windows, and...

So i got two new sticks of 4gb to compliment my already existing 4gb (4x4gb). The four of them are Adata AD4U2400J4G17-s (ddr4). I plugged them in and the next day i get my first bsod. one hour later another one, and then they became more frequent, to the point where my system would boot to a blue screen 50% of the time (varying error codes). So i decided to reinstall windows (thought that many blue screen had corrupted files, as it was thowing me system 32 errors) After windows reinstall i kept getting blue screens, so obviously i pointed towards the last add to my system, the two new sticks of RAM. I got memtest86 in a usb drive and i ran it, for a whole night. I tested different combinations, each of the four individual sticks alone, the four combined, two old ones only and two new ones only, varying slots.... No errors were detected, by this point i was pretty frustrated as i was sure i would get errors and then send back to seller, issue resolved, But no. So I then reinstalled windows one more time (not so sure why), and went on as if nothing had happened. Some hours go by and blue screen again (running the 4 sticks this time). I figured id go with 12 gb (took out one of the new sticks) and watch for any blue screen. Some hours go by and bam blue screen. So then i swap the sticks, try the other of the new ones (still 3x4GB), several hours go by, and blue screen again. Next logic step is take out both of the new ones and carry on with the old ones in normal usage (2x4GB). 1 day has passed since then and no blue screens yet.

I understand my troubleshooting process might not have been the most efficient (could have done all of this without reinstalling windows in the first place). The only thing i need right now is confirmation that the sticks are faulty so i can indeed return them... Any ideas towards achieving this?? Should i test other hardware on my pc? Is it possible that ram can cause system instability and still pass memtest?

I appreciate any ideas. Thanks in advance for your time
