Solution
You had 8GB and "decided to buy another 8gb kit" which is at least 2 sets of DRAM, that's mixing DRAM - even if the same exact model, there are no guarantees in mixing, you can pull sticks right off the assembly line and they might play nice, might not. That's why manufacturers test sticks together to ensure packaged sets all have sticks that play nice
