I have an old PC and I want to upgrade memory up to 8GB RAM. The mainboard model is Gigabyte GA-H55M-D2H (F3 ver.). After I install a pair of rams Mushkin enhanced blackline 2x4GB, my system freezes on startup.
Is it not compatible with my system?
Sorry for my bad English...

You have an H55 mobo, they were designed for the earlier DDR3 that was made with low density memory ICs (chips0, the Mushkin Blackline are newer and use high density memory ICs. The Ripjaws X mentioned above also use high density ICs, look at the GSkill NT series of value DRAM - it's among the few offering out there that use the low density ICs

I need your system specs to tell you for sure. But here is the specifications for ram on your motherboard.
2 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 8 GB of system memory (Note 1)
Dual channel memory architecture
Support for DDR3 2200+/1800/1600/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules
Support for non-ECC memory modules
Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modules
* To reach DDR3 2200 MHz and above, you are required to use with Intel Core i7/Core i5 CPU without HD Graphics and install a discrete graphics card.
When using Intel Core i5/Core i3/ Pentium CPU with HD Graphics, the maximum memory speed supported is 1666 MHz
* Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest memory support list.
