One is a 2GB stick made by Kingston, the other is a 4GB stick made by Corsair. They have the same RAM frequency and timings. Often these days if the spec of the RAM from two different manufacturers are the same, then just go for whatever manufacturer is cheaper. RAM is RAM.

If those two are the same price, I would definitely go for the 4GB stick (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9).

Could you try the Corsair (CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9) stick in another system? I've seen your other post, and it would be good to either highlight the RAM as the problem, or start exploring other potential causes.

I tested the CMZ4GX3M1A1600C9 in the other system and it recieves blue screen...So they are the faulty, but i tested them with memtest86+ and no errors... What is wrong with it ?

Reset your CMOS, if that particular stick still bluescreens, RMA it. Memtest86 picks up on faulty sticks, but it's not "100%" effective. Ensure you try it in different slots, and check the speed it is set to in the BIOS. But it sounds as though you have yourself some faulty RAM.

You're not trying to run them at the same time in the same system are you?

I resetet CMOS but same thing, what does "RMA" means ? the speed is the factory standard.

RMA means return it if it's under warranty.
