1 Stick of RAM works fine, 2 sticks of RAM only works 50% of the time.

I have 2 identical Crucial DDR4 8gb ram sticks from the same kit which seem to run fine for about two days with no problems until the computer eventually freezes. When the computer freezes, it continuously loops the last played noise, I don't get a blue screen of death and the only solution is to turn off the pc since I can't really do anything.

If I attempt to turn it on again it attempts to post but turns itself off after 1-5 seconds and unplugging makes no difference. Turning on the pc with only one ram stick fixes this, putting the second one back in straight away doesn't. I usually wait few days I decide to try putting the second stick back into the pc and then it works fine for roughly 2-3 days before it freezes again.

If I unplug the power right after turning the pc off for the first time it freezes without attempting to turn it on, it seems to boot fine after 2 attempts.

I know that the RAM is fine because I have tried placing them in both slots and they also work perfectly fine by themselves. I have also run Memtest and the windows memory diagnostic on both sticks which say there is no problem with the RAM.

I have also reset the CMOS Battery which seemed to temporarily fix it. Same with increasing the voltage by 0.05 which I also thought fixed the problem.

My Bios comes with no XMP profile either.

Any help is appreciated.

Specs:
Intel Core i5 7400
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
2x crucial 8gb memory (DDR4-2400 UDIMM)
Motherboard: gigabyte h110m-h

You have the latest bios? "F24c from 2018/03/09".
Could try and set optimal settings for the ram manually which seems possible in the bios. Can also raise the voltage to 1.35V (which is still safe) and see what that does for you.

When this happens what is the ram usage?

Can also do a test like memtest 86+,and see if that gives problems.Let it run a few passes,maybe let it run overnight.
