Problems with RAM since upgrading.

Hello, I have recently upgraded from 8GB of Ballistix Sport DDR3 1600 RAM after having it for around 5 years. I got today HyperX FURY 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3 RAM 1866 MHz CL10 DIMM and Have been having problems ever since. It is fully installed and registered that I have 16GB of RAM. However I am constantly getting Bluescreens and game crashes since the change which I barely ever got before. I have had a few different error codes during the blue screens and one of them I can remember was "Page Fault In Nonpaged Area"

My motherboard is an Asus P8Z77-V LX2 and this is what it says for specifications on what RAM types it takes.
"Dual-Channel DDR3 2400(O.C.)/2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.) /2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066 MHz Support
The motherboard supports DDR3 memory that features data transfer rates of DDR3 2400(O.C.)/ 2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600/ 1333/1066"


I tried lots of different things in the BIOS unless I press F5 in the BIOS and have it at default settings my PC pretty much wont start. It attempts to start around 2-3 times and then I encounter an "American Megatrends" Black screen which says "Overclocking failed!" Which then lets me go into the BIOS.

I have messed about with the BIOS and ended up just resetting to default but I do believe I must be doing something wrong as I'm not too familiar with them.
I really hope this problem can be fixed and that I don't have to go back to my old 8GB's of RAM as I didn't have this problem before, but would prefer that I didn't just waste money on 2 new RAM sticks.

If there is any screenshots I can provide that might help just ask and I will try and get them.

Thanks.
