Hi there, your Dell Vostro 5481 is running smoothly now with only 4GB RAM after your brother replaced one stick. However, the Windows boot process is still failing, showing an inaccessible boot drive error and restarting repeatedly. The system detects the HDD but the BSOD persists. I suspect the issue might be related to the HDD connection—perhaps the cable or connector became loose during the swap. Check the physical connections carefully before the next attempt.

Thank you for your message. I attempted to reinstall both RAM sticks, but it didn't work.
