blue screen after RAM upgrade

[nielsAK]

i recently decided to upgrade my ram from 8gb to 16gb. because i didn’t know exactly what i had installed, so i opened my pc and pulled it out. after putting it back in, my pc wouldn’t start. the fans would spin up, but no display output or anything. after some research i cleared the CMOS. after that it would output 1 long beep and then two short, but still nothing on my monitor. i reseated the ram, hoping that it would solve it. in a way, it did. now my pc gets to the splash screen, but halfway through the animation it freezes, and for a brief moment shows a blue screen (picture: http://imgur.com/XNMDosp). i have tried everything windows tells me to, but with no succes. i have tried booting linux from a usb which worked perfectly. i have now received my new ram, and switched it out with my old but there's no difference.

Would it work if i bought a 2,5’’ harddrive cover and copied the data to my laptop, reinstalled windows to my ssd, and transferred my user data back?

please help!

You can get people to install tools or viruses, but you can't fix the OP's issues with software or bloatware.

I presume you run the modules at 1600 MHz?

Great! I recommend that you run Memtest86+ overnight to make sure there are no issues at all.

Overnight? Does it take that long?

Yes for a few passes with 16GB of RAM. At least you don't have to watch it.

Download the CD or the USB image from http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm and burn it to the selected media; then boot from the media and run it.
