I previously had 2x4gb sticks working great together for 2-3 yrs but since last week it start giving a blue screen.
checked all the rams are of same config
the 2x4gb one is even same company and same model.

The Elpida 2 gb module is 1.5 volt and the Kingston is 1.35 volt. The right memory for your laptop is DDR3L-1600 or 1.35 volt. Very possible you have one or more bad sticks of memory as they are quite old now. I would install them one at a time and run memory diagnostics on them. Also I would not mix 1.5 and 1.35 volt memory. You are showing us a 4 gig and a 2 gig module not sure what kind of 8 gig you are using.

i tried memory diagnostic…. the 4gb one is working on first slot and passed after installing in second slot laptop not booting up….kinda restarts after 1-2 second with black screen.
while the 2gb one is being passed in both the slots. it means the second slot is not bad…right??
