    You will need to identify the make and model of your motherboard then download from their website.

    They may not specifically mention memory problems. Generally speaking you are best just going for the most recent bios issued by the manufacturer for your mobo.

    Is that happening both with and without the new ram stick in? You may have a problem with memory type or with the maximum capacity per slot.
