I don't have an explanation for your failure, but if memory is suspected, remove the new memory and try booting with the original memory in place. That should answer the question as to whether the new RAM is the problem.

Good luck.

Subject: memory question

I have an ASUS Essentio and I upgraded from 4GB to 8GB of memory a couple of days ago. The computer registered the memory no problem and seemed to be working fine.

Yesterday It shut down for an upgrade and now I'm getting a BSOD with different error messages each time I try and restart it. One of them said memory management error and that made me wonder is it possible that the memory is causing a problem after two days of working fine or is it just the upgrade?

Basically, I can't get in to uninstall the upgrade to check because by the time the computer loads completely, it then goes to the BSOD right away and I can't get to the uninstall fast enough.

I tried doing a system restore but it did not complete and went back to the BSOD.

This is running Win 10.
