My experience of a ram stick failing is that my system would crash when ram usage got above the first stick. So I had 2x 8gb sticks and whenever it got above 8gb, the system would crash. Took me a while to figure out what was wrong.
That kinda sounds like you didnt socket your ram correctly. If its configured in dual channel, then it should utilize both sticks equally afaik. I might be totally wrong here tho.
