Hi I just upgraded my pc from 8 gb to 16 gb of ram and now I'm getting the blue screen of death with a new error message everytime it restarts. Sometimes I get "bad pool error" sometimes "irql not less or equal" sometimes "statement thread exception not handled". Is my ram not compatible or is it DOA?
 
Solution
well what you should do then is disconnect every thing that is not needed for your PC to post, so disconnect the hard drive, external video card, DVD drive , ect so just memory (1 stick) cpu, power, on board vga and see if it post. Then add the 2nd stick and see if post if so then start reconnecting the parts you disconnected.
