	Welcome to the forums Mixing different brand memory is never a good idea. The 2 different modules you are using may require different voltages to function or their timings are greatly different. I would return one of the sticks and purchase a matching stick to the remaining one.

	Good News it turs out that the Adata memory was defected.
