Hi. I built my PC like a week ago and I recently switched from stock cooler to AIO. Everything is fine, but now I got blue screens and my PC freeze. (Temperatures are fine). THen my PC wont boot up. It will light up and the fans will spin, but wont boot to windows. When I take out 1 stick of RAM, it boots up im like 1 minute in windows, but then blue screen occures. I put the RAM back to the PC and now it works just fine. Im just really stressed out and I would appreciate some help please! :(

That's not ram. It's either motherboard ram slot, memory controller issue or bios, if the issue is the motherboard. Bios, is easily fix with an update or rollback, depending what happened. In your case, you might need an update. In case of ram slot or controller, that's RMA.  However, there's a chance that, it's the cpu. You want to remove the cpu, check for bent pins and make sure to reseat them properly. You might have crewed the  tighten the block/heatink too much or too loose.

I will update bios when I get home. And I don't think I tighten the block too much, because tutorial said screw until you can't. What is RMA?

RMA is "return to Manufacturer" and it's short for "using your warranty to send the device to an official repair shop or returning to seller".

 

Update the Bios, it will likely solve the memory compatibility issues.

I will update it. I just still don't understand how it worked for nearly a week and now it's having a problem with a new cooler installed

I'm actually kind of nervous now for you. When you say the instruction said "screw until you can't"  did you  used a screwdriver or just your fingers? because if you used a screwdriver, I'm sure that it's too tight.

Those were thumbscrews so I used my fingers

My friend recommended me to restart cmos. So I did that and everything works just fine so far. Could cmos fix what I have?

Resetting the Bios settings would do nothing if the Bios settings were already at stock.
