BSOD

[NicholasNicholasNicholas]

So whenever i try to upgrade my 4gb system to 12 with an 8gb stick, i get bsods. all kinds of different errors, too. 
my motherboard is a msi bazooka
my 4gb stick is a patriot viper
my 8gb stick is a gb micro
ive tried switching their slots too, but the only way i can fix it is to take one of them out. i really need your help. thanks

Read your manual. You will most likely need 2 identical AMOUNT of memory sticks. (and maybe check if you put the memory in the propper slots)

CAN be a common thing. I've had the same kind of issue where I wanted to use a 1gb and 2 gb DDR2 stick back in the day.

By your explanation, that two stick can't work together in your motherboard. Use 8GB stick and sell 4GB so you can later buy another 8GB one.

Read an online manual for your motherboard. If the manual tells you it can't work, it can't work. (and I think it won't)

Well, considering you are gay (as stated in your signature) you might also be blond. >>> not ideal combination, so that's why I gave you that link. And if you could not find it, maybe you didn't look good enough. Usually you can find manuals for motherboards, even if they are 10+ years old.

i found it but it doesnt mention different capacities.... 
●
Always insert memory modules in the DIMM2 slot first.
 ●
Due to chipset resource usage, the available capacity of memory will be a little less than the amount of installed.
 ●
Based on Intel CPU specification, the Memory DIMM voltage below 1.35V is suggested to protect the CPU.
 ●
Please note that the maximum capacity of addressable memory is 4GB or less for 32-bit Windows OS due to the memory address limitation. Therefore, we recommended that you to install 64-bit Windows OS if you want to install more than 4GB memory on the motherboard.
 ●
It is recommended to use a more efficient memory cooling system for full DIMMs installation or overclocking.
 ●
The stability and compatibility of installed memory module depend on installed CPU and devices when overclocking.
