This looks to be a message provided at POST in relation to a RAM error. Windows hasn't even loaded yet. Could be a compatibility issue or faulty hardware issue.

 

@OP

Was the RAM you bought the same as the RAM that was already in there? Is this a pre-build? A laptop? Can we get a model number?

Prebuilds usually have their name either right on the front or on a sticker on to top/side/back.

"HP Compaq 8200 Elite Small Form Factor PC" Does this sound familiar?

So we're probably working with socket LGA1155 then.

 

Pre-builds can sometimes be picky when it comes to RAM speed/timing/rank/vendor/etc. I would try booting the computer with only the question stick installed.

Use another computer and download and install a precompiled disk of "Passmark Memtest86" on it, which you can get from their website.  You will need some sort of USB flash or thumb drive, or micro SD/SD card with a USB adapter in order to do that.  If you don't have one, you need to buy one.

 

Once installed, boot it to the USB drive (you may have to change BIOS settings unless it can auto-detect it) and then wait for a few minutes (it takes awhile) and then let it run the RAM test.  Any errors severe enough to make your windows cause "disk errors" should show up rather quickly, and if not, you will assuredly get them on Test#6 or Test #7.
