Hey, it looks like something went wrong. You added extra RAM and after a day the system wouldn't start Windows 10. You tried recovery media but got an error message saying repair is needed. You booted into Hiren's CD and did various fixes—formatting, reinstalling, checking the MBR, using chkdsk—but couldn't remember much. Eventually, Windows 10 was installed. It works on other computers but not in this machine’s BIOS. In Hiren’s environment it appears as a normal drive. Your specs are: i5 4460, 8GB DDR3 (plus 8GB), AMD Radeon RX580 860 EVO, 250GB Samsung WD Red NAD, and a 1TB hard drive. From Germany.

No, I haven't tried a standard boot without additional RAM.

I also installed the RAM today and everything worked as planned. No system tried to start this morning...

No, I didn't remove it. It was only when problems appeared that you asked about it.

I mentioned my initial goal. I deleted it first, didn’t alter anything, and then continued working through the solution.
