Windows 10: I added a new 8gb ram module and my screen produces static when booting that won’t end

So i added another 8gb ram module meaning i now have 16gb but whenever i boot my pc it shows either static or a completely green screen. Its been happening for about 2 hours now. Ive tried restarting and the automatic repair doesnt work.

:)

 

8gb out of 16gb of my ram is Usable?

The manual lists no setting for single/dual channel.

Even if it existed, I doubt that it would affect the amount of RAM seen by Windows.

 

Windows shows 8GB RAM installed but 4GB RAM is usable

Hi There,

I've just upgraded my pc from 4GB RAM to 8GB RAM. Windows seems to have detected this upgrade but why does it show as only 4GB RAM available. The following is what I have tried so far with no luck:

• I have tried the msconfig method on ensuring maximum memory is not checked.
• physically removed the new RAM and reinstalled it

Any thoughts/suggestions on how i can resolve this matter?

Thanks

 

Error message: KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE after upgrading RAM

I have just upgraded my Dell Laptop XPS-L501x with 8GB (2 x 4GB) RAM as it originally came with 4GB (2 x 2GB).

Laptop attempts to boot but windows flags KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE error..!

Replaced the old set of RAM modules and all is well.

The new RAM modules are made by Crucial and accroding to them it is a match for my laptop's spec.

The new RAM does appear in the BIOS showing as extended memory just short of 8GB.

Anyone has any suggestions or can recommend a solution..?

Thanks..!
