    Hi BlockingTurtle,

    It is possible the new RAM may have errors, that happens a lot more often than you would think, or the new RAM may be incompatible with your system, either way, if the problem is gone on the old RAM, that new RAM is causing the problem, I am glad you have found the cause.

    Hi BlockingTurtle,

    To stabilize your Windows installation, the best option would be to perform an in-place repairi with the Windows 10 ISO.

    Please follow the steps, this is then just an update and your files and applications will remain untouched.

    Click this link:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), then choose ISO, not USB

    When the ISO file completes downloading

    Disconnect from the Internet

    Disconnect all external devices with the exception of a mouse or keyboard.

    Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

    Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the upgrade option.

    Hi BlockingTurtle,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    If you are unable to get into Windows, did you try the System Restore option to see if you have a restore point prior to this problem occurring?

    If can you get into Safe Mode form the Recovery Environment and if so, is Windows stable in Safe Mode?
