So I got some more RAM in the mail today, installed it, and instantly got BSOD. Ran memtest with a single stick of each of the new ram, no errors; even tested each slot to see if one bad, no errors still. Once all 4 sticks were put in though, more BSOD.

I have a z75 pro3 mobo, in A1/B1 I had my 4gbRAM sticks
in A2/B2 I had my 8bgRAM sticks(new ones)
Switched them around, BSOD still.

Tried A1/A2 8gbRAM then B1/B2 4gbRAM sticks and poof! No more BSOD

Any downside to this? No more BSOD, and computer can detect all RAM accounted for

In order to use the dual channel mode for memory, there must be matching sticks in Ax and Bx slots. See page 20 of you MB manual. If you have mis-matched sticks in channel A and channel B, there is a good chance of errors. If all your RAM is not matching in timing, speed, and brand, you can not expect optimum results.
