4 ram sticks instability????

[BoppedBalogne]

So I just got some new ram sticks and when I try to use 4 sticks I get insane instability and bsod crashes on my system, but when I try to use only 2, everything works just fine... Can anyone tell me what I'm missing here?

Are the sticks the same size, brand, and speed

Same speed and brand, different sizes, 2 8g and 2 4g, could that be the problem?

You're using the XMP profile? Does the behaviour improve when you are using standard settings?

Since the memory controller does have a tougher job to adress 4 sticks instead of 2 problems can occur also happening with 4 absolute identical sticks.

Is the layout of the ram-sticks identical (doubt it), 1s or 2s?

Do you use interleave mode?

What DIMM slots are which sticks installed in.
