Help is needed ASAP since I really need to work on a project for college and it keeps on crashing :(

Thanks!
 
Is the memory seated correctly? Does the system function normally if you replace the old memory - it could simply be a faulty memory chip in which case you could get a replacement.

Click to expand...

I am pretty sure it was installed correctly, but sometimes I get what looks like a flashing horizonal line for a moment on the display...it's new to me..
 
I just reisntalled the 2GB ram, it was ok, installed the 4GB and now everything is normal!

Maybe it was just installed incorrectly or so..i will just give it another day before i feel that the problem is gone :rolleyes:
 
UPDATE:

The problem is still here, at high memory usage, I get horizontal flashing lines across the top of the screen and sometimes crashes, only happened after upgrading the RAM.

I reinstalled the RAMs, tested them using Apple's tool in the installation CD and it detected no problems...any suggestions?

I would just take it for warranty work, but i know they will just waste my time and keep the laptop until forever..

thanks a lot for any help.
 
Try Rember (or some type of memory test).

You may have to get replacement memory chips -- and if you decide to, I'd suggest some vendor that caters primarily to the Mac community (nothing against Kingston).
 
I bought 2x2gbs from crucial recently when i installed them the system crashed after 2 minutes, after some testing i did turns out that one of the dimms was defective, i sent it back and the next day they sent me new ones and they are working perfectly.
 
Update: just for reference,

I got the RAMs replaced and everything is running great since then :cool:
 
Hey, thread starter!

Which bus of RAM did you upgrade for your Macbook (Mac-F42D89C8)

I am going to upgrade it to 4GHz as well,

But I wonder which maximum of RAM BUS that I can install - bus 800 or just bus 533.

Cheers
