I went straight for the 4th slot with the RAM since that’s what games nowadays need. Probably there’s a virus on it, so I can’t set up any antivirus software or run one on my machine.
It doesn't always provide a crash code for a BSOD. If you attempt to install or run one, it may cause further issues or system instability.
I attempted everything possible under optimal conditions to make it work, but nothing functions on Windows 8.1. I had to reinstall multiple times and kept encountering issues like "Windows not active" and a blue screen warning to activate.
What system are you using? Specify socket or chipset details.
The chipset isn't that old. I'd consider a hardware incompatibility if you said something like LGA1366 or x58 chipset because I've been told some people have Windows 10 working on them. If this issue just showed up one day and not immediately following installing the OS then you probably have something undesirable installed in the OS. Continuing to run the system could be dangerous if it is infected because the infectious software could include a key logger or other forms of spyware. If the system won't let you install anti-virus you should boot off a different drive and tell the anti-virus/anti-malware to scan the drive we believe to have something infectious on it. If it has something then we should get some sort of result.
