Memory - Integrity Test Failed on Windows 10.

Hi,

I own Dell Inspiron 545s, customized with expandable RAM up to 8gb, and can upgrade to x64 system. I just recently discovered the possibility to enhance my RAM to 8 GB using all 4 slots, so I bought two extra 2 GB RAMs. I own Windows 10 Home 32 bit version, which I want to upgrade to 64bit.

I checked the system compatibility and figured out I can upgrade, and so I began.

I inserted the new RAMs first to unused slots, keeping old RAMs where they were. Then I ran my Pc for a test drive, and faced BSOD errors, not letting me boot into system at all. I thought the new RAMs might be causing the problem, so I tried testing RAMs and slots in following way.

1. Old RAMs in used slots = worked OK.

2. Old RAMs in unused slots = worked OK.

3. New RAMs in used slots = worked OK.

4. New RAMs in unused and Old RAMs in used slots = worked OK.

Afterwards, I began upgrading Windows 10 from 32 bit to 64 bit version. The upgrade finished, and I ran Windows updates. After 18 % progress of the Windows update, download stopped, forcing me to restart system.

Next, I rebooted, and faced BSoD error again, so I tried restarting, but system never loaded till boot screen. So I rebooted to DVD of Win10, which after initial load, turned a blank dark blue screen with no messages.

Afterwards, all my efforts to boot to system or to Windows 10 install DVD failed, resulting either in blank black screen with a cursor post the failed boot attempts, or the blank dark blue screen post the failed boot-from-DVD attempts.

I then ran Dell Diagnostics Utility, which showed me various Memory - integrity test failed error messages.

So I tried reinstalling all RAMs together, but the diagnostic utility error messages have since continued.

Help! What do I do next? What is the issue here, and how do I resolve it to get Windows 10 64bit working with 8 Gb total RAM, of 4 x 2 Gb sticks each? Is it a Windows 10 update failure? My RAM slots or cards? My total RAM capacity? My motherboard?

Help... S.O.S.
