Take the original RAM out and try to boot it with the new one, maybe it's somehow defective.
The second ram stick is obviously a stick of GNU/ram with firmware licensed under a GPL-compatible license.
Your Wintendo machine doesn't contain appropriate free as in freedom drivers but the Linux kernel has them included by default.

Linux still boots but windows won't boot. But note that this is the third ram stick i tried to use with my machine.
Try booting into BIOS

You should try the newest version before filing a bug report.
switch to linux

you sure the slot isnt damaged on the mb?
>>54840823
Both sticks work in linux

Tried putting either stick in the same slot, and the one I had from the getgo worked on windows
You just need to reinstall Windows.
Windows can't handle new hardware.
