Aluminum Macbook freezing with New Snow Leopard & 4GB Ram

[l3ebs]

Hey Guys,

Yesterday I went out and bought the new snow leopard and 4gb (2x2gb) of OCZ ram.

First, I installed the OCZ ram and booted into Leopard for a minute to check it was working all right.

Then I installed snow leopard and that went smoothly.

I used my laptop for around 3 hours last night and then it froze.

Then this morning I have used it for a little over an hour and it froze again.

All my drivers are up to date.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Can you try the original RAM for a time to see if it's the new RAM or the new OS that may be causing the problem? Alternately, can you try the new RAM in a different machine? It's possible that the RAM is defective.

I will try that. Also new problem. If i put it in sleep mode and then leave it for a while. When i open the lid again it just shows a black screen and all i can do is hold down on the power button and restart it.

Any suggestions?

If the RAM is bad (and you're still using the new RAM), I imagine that could happen as well. First thing to figure out is whether the RAM is defective, then see if there are still any problems in Snow Leopard.
