All the memory should have been matching is that is how it came from the factory.
This is what the dump shows:

Adding or removing memory will not void the warranty. If it was my laptop, I'd replace the 4GB memory modulr with another 8GB module identical to the one already installed. For the time being, just remove the $GB module and see if that helps. It may not but it's an easy test to make.
If it doesn't help then I suggest enabling Driver Verifier and see if that shows us anything.
===================================================
Driver Verifieris a diagnostic tool built into Windows 10, it is designed to verify both native Microsoft drivers and third party drivers. Driver Verifier'sverification process involves putting heavy stress on drivers with the intention of making bad, outdated, incompatible or misbehaving drivers fail. The required result is a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) which will generate a crash dump for debugging purposes.
Machines exposed to Driver Verifierwill run very sluggishly due to the stress being applied to the drivers.
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable in Windows 10
Pay close attention to
PART TWO
and make sure the correct boxes are checked.
Warning:
It is not advised to run Driver Verifierfor more than 48 hours at a time. Disable Driver Verifier after 48 hours or after receiving a BSOD, whichever happens soonest.
Alwayscreate a Restore Point prior to enabling Driver Verifier.
What we're looking for is a BSOD with a mini dump that will tell us what driver caused it.
