I possess two identical memory modules of the same brand and size, though they differ in specifications: one is Vulcan (Team Force, 8 GB, 3000 MHz) and the other is Memory II (8 GB, 2666 MHz). Both are CL 16-18-18-38 with 1.35V and 1.2V respectively. I installed them in dual-channel on my brother's H510MH Biostar motherboard. After a day of operation, the PC triggered a blue screen and entered a restart loop. It appears only one memory is functioning properly; we haven't applied any overclocking beyond the default 2400 MHz.

It's not a matched kit and not guaranteed to work together properly.

Perhaps it's just the pace that matters, though at their core they all share teamforce, DDR4, and an 8GB capacity.

The Windows Blue Screen message points to memory issues. Lowering RAM speed to the default 2400MHz might help since all systems use the same 8GB capacity. The recommended next step is to power on the PC using one stick of RAM.

Yes, and replace both sticks for a matching kit if you want 16GB. Motherboard BIOS is fully up to date? What's your CPU?
