So I just bought an 8GB RAM stick from ADATA to replace my old 4GB stick and now whenever I turn my PC on my computer boots up saying Preparing Automatic Repair.

If I want to continue to Windows without repairing , it reboots saying the same thing.

I have left a screenshot below.

Please respond fast.

Not sure what could have caused Windows to freak out like that if you just changed out RAM. Strange. Either way, I'd try putting back in the old stick and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, see if anything under advanced options may work.

Have you tried putting the old stick back in?

 

Is the boot order in the BIOS still correct? (It could be trying to boot to a different drive, had that problem once).

 

have you done a CMOS reset?

Having issues with a Corsair AIO? Possible fix here:

Spoiler

Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?

Are you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)

Corsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly.

-For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the "Corsair Link sensor support" box is checked and make sure the "Asetek LC sensor support" box is UNchecked.

-For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components.

-For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors.

That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it.

Windows 10 is so buggy, everytime I install a new graphics card, it BSODs. I even uninstalled the graphics drivers everytime but oh well. Shit Happens. Windows 7 or 8.1 never did this to me. But I take that it Blue Screened because of the bugs in Windows 10.

Tried putting the old stick back. still not working.

I have also checked to see if my mother oard and processor support the memory , and they do.

 

No , I have not done a CMOS reset. And I don't know how to do it.

 

The boot order is the same. When I go into the BIOS it does recognise the memory.

there should be a button on the back panel of ur MB, or it might be on the MB itself. The rest should reset any changes u've made in BIOS to their defaults.  You might want to consider a bios update too.

yeah, reset to default is close enough, just the reset CMOS is more, lets say, comprehensive. 

 

for the update you will need to check if ur mb supports flashing of the bios, then u will need to find the correct version of the update file on the manufactures website and u will need a USB stick (and a bible becuase the update can go poos)
