Two sticks of 8GB Ram cause freezes, one stick's fine, Yosemite

[maarthel]

Hello,

I'm trying to run my newly build hackintosh, but I have lots of problem regarding freezing the system.
It's pretty random, but I could replicate to freeze by doing lots of different things, like plugging in and out USB drives and/ or peripherals, doing intense Youtube, creating a song in Logic X etc.

I tried with one stick of Ram and then I have a smooth running system without trouble. I've changed sticks and put them in different slots, with the same result; one stick is fine, two sticks always freeze.

What is the best method now to make it work?
Trying in BIOS with different settings? (and what settings?)

I've also discovered that my Ram was not on the compatibility list of the motherboard, I've ordered compatible Ram to see if that will work better.

Thanks!

And to conclude; the right ram solved it all.
It shows that choosing the right components is crucial. It would have saved me lots of headaches in the first place!
