I was having troubles with Windows 8.1 install and i had to remove one of two 8GB Kingston HyperX Fury Ram sticks. Now when i try to install my RAM again, i will get this message: "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart (MEMORY_MANAGEMENT)". This error goes away if I remove the 2nd RAM stick, but will not boot if I use the 2nd stick instead of the 1st. Do I have faulty RAM?
 
Solution
I hope you are not doing this while your computer is powered on.
Yes it does sound like you have a bad stick. You should return it for a replacement.
