Hi, I have recently upgraded my computer from 4GB of RAM to 8GB.
When I installed it I had to go to the BIOS settings on the motherboard because the amount of memory has been changed. All my motherboard drivers are updated.

My PC Specs:
Intel i3 4130
MSI H81I
4GB of corsair vengeance --> 8GB
R9 270x
1TB HDD Western Digital
Windows 8.1 86x

Is there any solutions to this or is the stick of ram is faulty?

Thanks mouse, but i have been online and this is what worked for me:
'Try this..

Start > Run > MSCONFIG > Boot tab > Advanced Options button > uncheck the Maximum Memory box > OK and Apply your way back out > Reboot the machine..'
