while updating my pc I've gone thrugh dis screen

 

 

After my pc booted up I got this pop-up

 

 

 

 

What kind of problem? Do I need to replace both of my RAM sticks? Can I get more information anout it overall...?

 

 

 

(If it matters, I have 8x2GB HyperX FURY DDR3)

 

thx

Update the bios 

Try with 1 stick at a time

I don't recommend to update the BIOS in case of bad RAM,it may corrupt the BIOS or even brick the PC.

What ? 

No that won't happen 

If you want to be extra safe take the undetected ram and then update the bios 

[Vishera]

Try testing the CPU with Prime95 with the Small FFTs option

Try testing the RAM with Memtest86.

 

Prime95 download page:

Memtest86 download page:

Tell us if you get any errors while testing.

BIOS flashing requires running the processor and of course RAM, if the bad RAM happens to be used for that process you can end up with a corrupted BIOS and a brick.

 

Need to find and take out the bad RAM first, at which point it makes little sense updating the BIOS if that was the problem.

 

There is no "undetected RAM".

no probs...

tbh the RAM functions just fine(at least from what I can tell), maybe it was a one time sort of false positive by windows update or somethin'?

It was probably a one time thing,if you got no errors or warnings in the tests then you have nothing to worry about

That's definitely a hardware failure,It's either bad RAM or a bad CPU (or both).

[Beerzerker]

Bad RAM for sure from what I'm seeing.
