Might sound straightforward (Maybe i'm just tired :) ) but in the past when i have upgraded RAM and have had a BSOD i try each module individually in order to identify if one is obviously bad.
This worked for me, i had a dud stick from the start. Memtest86 is also a very good idea.
Just my two penneth.

But now I use the first 8GB of RAM. The new 8GB RAM, was released. But still the same problem when I use both. What exactly is the problem that occurs, I do not understand ..It won't damage the new RAM if it will fit in the slots properly. If it won't fit in the slots properly, you have clearly bought the wrong type of RAM.
This is just a quick way of finding out if the new RAM is compatible with your motherboard and works properly.
Does the PC work OK with ONLY the new RAM installed??
Yes or no.
Try just inserting one (1 x 4GB stick) in the system and booting, if all is ok (No BSOD) then shut the system down and take that stick out and put it to one side (the good side :) ). Try another stick..... etcBut now I use the first 8GB of RAM. The new 8GB RAM, was released. But still the same problem when I use both.

At this point, it sounds like a hardware problem, but anything is possible.
It may be a BIOS issue that can be upgraded.
It may be a problem with a BIOS setting.
But the first thing to check is the obvious stuff---that's why you need to confirm that the new RAM is good.
If the new RAM is good, then worry about why you have problems when the new RAM and the old RAM are installed together.
Ok, I understand. Meaning here, my motherboard can support it more than 8GB of RAM? So, it's not a problem beyond the limit. Because, I read in the manual, Kingston RAM (KHX1600C9D3K2), can put 8GB only. Or I is wrongAt this point, it sounds like a hardware problem, but anything is possible.

This could help, your motherboard should have what they call 'memory ok' technology, which when you press the little black button (near the CPU right hand side I think) it's supposed to do what it says memory ok, it mskes adjustments so all your Ram works together.
No it wont work if the module(s) is damaged, but according to ASUS it may drop the speed to 1333 or similar to get everything ok.
You can then, on the tenuous thought that you might get to the desktop, install and use ASUS AI suite II to adjust upwards.
