After installing them i turn on my pc and it goes through bios but when it starts loading windows ( it doesnt really start loading windows you just see the windows logo) it shows a screen with βyour PC ran into a problemβ and shows the code: KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE.

Hi Tackoo
There are a lot of computers being made
A make and model number would help us help you
If not a brand name E.g HP, Dell etc
Mane and model of motherboard please.
2 ram slots stopped working which left me with 4GB ram i had 2x4 and i bought 4x2.
You say you had 2 sticks of 4GB and 2 slots have failed
so why would you buy 4 sticks of 2GB or do you have that the wrong way round?
What type of ram did you buy?
How do you know 2 slots do not work.
Try one new stick only in each ram slot to test if it boots.

you got me wrong a bit, i have 4 sticks of 2gb RAM and 2 RAM slots stopped working which left me with 4gb of RAM and thats why i bought these 2 of 4gb, to be back at 8gb RAM again. And yes i tried one stick at a time on every slot on 2 slots it boots on the other 2 it doesnβt.

also could you explain a bit about DIMMs and following order load im a bit confused about that. (im not good in PCs sorry :/)
So i researched a bit about DIMMs and DIMM1 and DIMM3 are the ones who work, which is where i placed the new RAM sticks and the PC doesnβt load windows once again.
The dimms work in pairs a1-a2 b1-b2 c1-c2 etc
If you put dimms in a1 and c1 it will still work but not the same as a1 and a2 I will try and explain a bit better latter.
So if you put old ram in 1 and 3 computer boots
New ram no boot
Let me look at specs
I will be back
