    Hi!!

    @B4ttleSky           

    As you are experiencing this BSOD issue after adding RAM to your computer, I assume it is time to manage Virtual Memory. 

    Your computer has two types of memory, Random Access Memory (RAM) and Virtual Memory. All programs use RAM, but when there isn't enough RAM for the program you're trying to run, Windows temporarily moves information that would normally be stored in RAM to a file on your hard disk called a Paging File. The amount of information temporarily stored in a paging file is also referred to as virtual memory. Using virtual memory, in other words, moving information to and from the paging file, frees up enough RAM for programs to run correctly.

    How to calculate Windows 10 Virtual Memory / Pagefile

    There is a formula for calculating the correct pagefile size. Initial size is one and a half (1.5) x the amount of total system memoryMaximum size is three (3) x the initial size. So let's say you have 4 GB (1 GB = 1,024 MB x 4 = 4,096 MB) of memory. The initial size would be 1.5 x 4,096 = 6,144 MB and the maximum size would be 3 x 6,144 = 18,432 MB.

    How to change Windows 10 Virtual Memory / Pagefile

    All the information and links you will need are going to be on the System page.

    1. Bring up the System page by either:
      • Pressing the Windows logo key Windows logo key + Pause
      • or
      • Open File Explorer by left-clicking the manila folder icon on the Taskbar or pressing the Windows Logo key Windows logo key + E at the same time. When File Explorer is open, right-click on This PC and select Properties on the context menu that appears.
    2. Make note of the installed memory (RAM)
      System page inside of Windows 10
    3. Click on the Advanced system settings link
    4. Click on the Advanced tab of the System Properties dialog box
      System Properties dialog box inside of Windows 10
    5. Click on the Settings ... button in the Performance section
    6. Click on the Advanced tab of the Performance Options dialog box
      Performance Options dialog box inside of Windows 10
    7. Click on the Change ... button inside of the Virtual memorysection
    8. Deselect the Automatically manage paging file size for all drives check box
      Virtual Memory dialog box inside of Windows 10
    9. Select Custom size and enter the initial size and maximum sizeusing the calculation shown above
    10. Click on the Set button

    Do what @Balatekie said before even thinking about reinstalling windows as suggested above, this is a RAM memory problem not a Windows problem, it may come to that but not yet

    He had already posted another one with a problem and had opted to change the memory, see: https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/572846/acer-nitro-5-515-42-r6gv-upgrades#latest
    I think there must be some incompatibility between the hynix memory and the crucial memory. In addition, it would be interesting for him to inform the bios version.

    I wouldn't spend too much time on it, I would just purchase another 8gb stick of identical crucial memory, it's cheap enough. Funny thing is I have exactly the same as he does 8gb Hynix and 8gb Crucial, same model laptop and no problems

    Hi!
    Thanks for your reply but i i dont think its the virtual memory as the same game (rust) runs on 8gb ram without giving me BSOD but gives me BSOD when adding a new RAM... i tested the ram by removing the reinstalled ram and the error still exist

    You think the new RAM is damaged?
    Would have bought another module but running low on budget 😅

    V1.13 is the correct version. As for damaged RAM it's impossible to say but I've seen it on here before. I have the exact same model and the exact same RAM as you, the Hynix it shipped with and the Crucial that you added and it works fine so I think you need to return the Crucial RAM for a replacement, Amazon are good for that
