I picked up 2 x8 gb Vengeance LPX DDR4 2400 sticks of ram to help play WW3. They ran fine the first 2 days and now everytime I try to play any game I get the blue screen of death with the stop code memory management error. If I put in the old ram sticks, everything seems fine, I just can't play WW3 very well. So I'm just wondering if they just suddenly died, or I installed them wrong? I put them in slots 1 and 2 on my Asus AB350 pro4, but slots 1 and 3 didn't seem to make any difference either, still would BSOD
 
Solution
You need to put them either in slots 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 , so they can run in dual channel. Try swapping them and see if that makes a difference
If not you should test your memory with memtest86. You'll need to make a bootable USB:

Let it run for about 1 hour, if it gives you errors then your memory modules are faulty and you should RMA them.
From your troubleshooting it certainly seems like the new RAM is the problem here.
