I'm installing 2 sticks of 8gb ram (G.skill ripjawsx) and I can only use one stick of ram or my pc constantly restarts itself. I've tried to overclock the frequency to 1600 I've changed the voltage to 1.5 and I've changed the timing to what it says on the ram nothing has worked.

Proccesor- Intel i5 4690k
GPU-gtx970 g1
Motherboard- gigabyte z97x g1 gaming
Ram-g.skill ripjawsx 2 sticks 8gb
(Recommended timing, frequency, and voltage is 10-10-10-30, 1600, 1.500v)
Power supply-evga 750w
