i was wondering if i should re-install windows 8. basically i had a dead RAM stick in my pc for the past few days causing me massive problems, removed it and replaced it with a new stick.

Anyway i thought it could have been something with the installation getting all the BSOD and crashes so i refreshed the pc, the problem was the faulty stick as i scanned it with memtest and gave 1000's of errors. i still had the faulty stick in when refreshing windows, i didnt know at the time it was bad and it failed about halfway through, im guessing because of the RAM.

since it failed the refresh it wont let me perform the re-fresh anymore it just comes up with "could not find the files needed, if you have a windows installation or recovery media insert it and restart the pc from the media"

my question is should i re-install windows 8 just to be sure nothings corrupted or should i leave it. its a newly build system and its now running fine.
 
If you're having problems, I'd probably advise that you reinstall just to start fresh again.
 
i'm not having problems since replacing the RAM stick, just it will not allow me to refresh windows for some reason.
 
ive decided to re-install, just to be on the safe side. dont want to be having problems a few weeks/months down the line. As ive just got my pc up and running, might aswell.

thanks guys :).
