1% m8... lol update your bios, check msi's site for compatibility, make sure the cards are in the proper corresponding slots.

1. Test the RAM in another PC

2. Swap RAM slots

3. Reset BIOS

4. Check RAM voltage compatibility

And make sure they are all fully seated. I was getting blue screens when i swapped my RAM and they weren't all seated properly.

A blue screen isn't necessarilly linked to just ram, if you have the error code in question it could be the ram, but also could be almost anything else in the system. So knowing what error is key to solving the issue.

If you only get the bsd on the first boot with new ram then your all good. Windows is a bit of a cry baby.

Then check that the ram is seated properly and in the correct slots.

Failing that, check that the bios is up to date.

I don't have a MSI mobo so I not sure about how they do it but basically, go to the msi site and download the latest version for your mobo, put it on a usb drive, go into the bios and find the update bios option. To be safe find a guide online that outlines the steps for your mobo.

Does the old ram work? If so chuck that in to download the bios update and a 2gb drive is plenty.

well i tried the other ram to but just by a sudden it started to give bluescreen to

[niccaa23]

My old build I had to firmly press in the ram all the way into the slots, even when I heard the clicks it still wanted to be pushed in a bit more.

 

I would bsd randomly all the time before I figured that out.

With the old ram in, clear the cmos which will reset the bios to default settings and may let windows boot correctly.

I don't know which mobo you've got but there may be a clear switch on the real IO panel, press that in and boot. If no button, remove the watch battery and let it sit for 30 seconds then boot, turn off, put battery back in and boot.

ok now i updated bios with the latest updates and removed the clock battery and put it in again after inrestarted the pc still getting the bluescreen but i dont know what the cmos is 

[hampan2000]

this is how my bios looks like

CMOS is the system that keeps the clock going when the computer unplugged. I forgot to mention that when you remove the battery, also remove the powercord and let it sit for 30 seconds.

Some, not all mobo's have a clear square button on the back panel that will reset the settings in the bios, it's to avoid the hassle of removing the battery, unplugging and having it sit. Instead the CMOS button does the same thing but on a software level.

 

If after all this it still isn't working, your windows install have really crapped itself and thus needs to be recovered. As rare as it is these days, it still happens and is always a possibility that can occur.

The 0x7b stop code is for an inaccessible boot drive not the ram.
