Hey!
Thanks for your time!
I realy don't know else to do so im asking :p

I bought a new pc:
Asus z170 Pro gaming
2x HyperX FURY Memory Black - 8GB Kit* (2x4GB) - DDR4 2666MHz CL15 DIMM (Datasheet)
Motherboard supports my RAM
Intel i5 6500
Asus Geforce GTX 970
be quiet! pure power 630W
Samsung SSD 850 PRO

I set up the computer and installed Windows 10.
After installing/updating all the drivers the system started to throw bluescreens at me.(Not at startup but about 2 mins running)
-irql_not_less_or_equal
-memory management
-whea uncorrectable error
-page fault in nonpaged area
-system service exception
-kernel apc pending during exit

After running Memtest: Error #2 Memory error detected
Tried with only 2 RAM Slots and Memtest finished without an error
Btw. i tried every line up. A1+B1(works) A2+B2(works) A1+A2(does not work!) B1+B2(does not work)

Thank you very much for your time and effort to help me!

In a 4x4GB set (packaged set they are sticks that have all been tested together to ensure they will play nice at spec, they might have to sort through 8-10-12 or even more to find 4 that all play nice to make a packaged set, the more sticks, the higher the data rate, the timings, etc all play into getting sticks to match up and play

Done. and it seems like its working. Memtest doesn't detect any errors.
Is there realy a difference between a 4x4GB set and 2x(2x4GB) set? wow i did not know that.
