I'm getting pissed

[Evolution.]

this PC has been giving me problems since yesterday night so i switched out a new one same model and came to a realization a ram stick was causing it but how? It shows up as the total memory shows up as 8gb (4x2gb) in the bios and when I remove said ram stick I do not get the BOOTMGR is corrupted error. I installed a fresh install of windows 10 on another dekstop and it works fine with the one stick removed.

Probably bad stick then. WIth the BIOS at 100% default, go download memtest86 and run it on each stick individually. I bet the one will be throwing tons of errors.

Not entirely sure what process you took, but is it possible that your motherboard is the issue? 

 

What happens when you pop in a different set of memory?

Are all the memory modules of the same model or different speeds/latency?

same model

And did you try removing each module?   Maybe the issue is that memory socket, not the memory module itself.
