Just installed 2 new RAM sticks, corsair vengeance 4GB. I had 2 installed before so now I'm at 16 GB RAM.
My computer blue screens now and I was reading different solutions about changing the DRAM? I'm not exactly sure what I need to change if someone could explain that to me.

There is no guarantee that mixing RAM even of the same spec will work Kazz580.
It's always best to buy RAM as a single kit and that way they will work together.

RAM is matched for Latency differences during manufacture and binned to comply.
Very often they do work together or require slight changes to Timing Control in Bios however that is the gamble you take.

I guess to elaborate, the 2 new sticks I got are the exact same as the other 2 I have put in already (the original ones I guess). I increased the DRAM voltage to 1.550V instead of the Auto 1.5V. From what I have read this should get it to not blue screen.
