Specs:
AMD FX-6300 (Not OC)
MSI 970A SLI KRAIT Mobo
Palit GTX 750 Ti Palit StormxOC (Not OC)
1x8GB PNY, No Heatspreader, Black DDR3 1600Mhz
PNY CS1311 120GB SSD
EVGA 600B PSU
Phanteks P400

I originally started with just one ram stick and it was working fine. My friend gave me an 8GB stick of Corsair Vegeance RAM 1600Mhz so I installed that, until I got blue screen right after BIOS. And I knew it had to be the RAM, so I took that RAM out, but then when I would turn on my computer, it didn't display anything. I tried taking the PNY stick and replacing it with the Corsair RAM, but still nothing. Now it will only accept the two RAM sticks, but it keeps getting blue screen. :(

Have you tried to reset the BIOS? Sometimes mixing in different types of ram causes trouble, as you found out. If you want to keep using both you can try to set the ram timings manually in the BIOS. Set the timings according to the slowest timings of both ram sticks.

Thanks! Will try to set the ram timings in the BIOS first, if it still doesn't work I'll reset the BIOS. Will reply back soon!

Just tried and still failed. :( There was an option for linking/syncing the DRAM timings and frequencies so that's what I did, but still failed. When I reset the BIOS, it failed too.
