I have a Gigabyte GA-H55M-D2H MOBO, working with 2x1GB of KVR1333D3N9/1G RAM modules. I'd like to upgrade to 8 gigs of RAM - and I have a few sticks lying around.

 

-Samsung M378B5173EB0-YKO (2x4GB): if I swap out the old RAMs with these, the PC won't boot. It doesn't even make it past POST, just reboots after every 5-6 seconds.

-Kingston KVR16N11S8/4 (2x4GB): the PC with these RAMs fails to boot Windows 10. I get a nice blue screen error saying "Kernel Security Check Failure".

After swapping RAM modules I always loaded fail-safe BIOS defaults. What am I missing, whats the problem?

Thanks.
