It looks like bsod11 has been redacted, so we cannot help you.

That's not going to make any difference.

Based on that page, I'd pull two sticks of
RAM out of there, and operate in dual channel mode
with one stick of RAM on each channel. I would place
the DIMM on the channel, in the "end slot".

Physically, that would look like this.

CPU ----X----4GB Channel0

----X----4GB Channel1

The motherboard manual doesn't always
label these well.

That's just to see if a stable config can be
quickly reached. That doesn't offer any guarantees.
It's for if you're not a methodical tester.

Always remove all AC power and wait 60 seconds,
before adding or removing DIMMs from a PC. This
gives time for the standby voltage to drain.

To give an example, my PC used to have half the slots
filled with DDR3-2400 RAM. It was perfectly perfectly
stable that way.

Then, I bought extra RAM and filled all slots. I had to
drop the clock down to DDR3-1866 before it stopped
throwing errors.

And there's nothing wrong with my RAM. It's just
a bus speed versus loading issue. That RAM is like
gold - it has an amazingly low error rate. But
my setup is speed sensitive, when the channels are full
(two per channel).
