Bad RAM? mid-2010 MBP

[cmk22]

Hey guys got a mid-2010 13" mbp 7,1 wanted to upgrade the ram so I got a set of Corsair CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9 from amazon. I install it and when I booted it up it will freeze on the apple screen. So I return it to amazon and got a new pair, install the new set same thing. Is that not the right RAM for my module I thought It was compatible with my mbp. I install it on a mid-2011 15" mbp and it worked fine. Should I get different series of RAM?

how much RAM is it? are you exceeding the max your 2010 can handle?

You need 1066MHz Ram, not 1333MHz. The max is 8GB the 7,1 MBP can handle.

Any of these will work. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...9-481^20-139-481-TS,20-148-276^20-148-276-02#

I have 4gb right now 2x2 trying to put two 4gb. I thought it can handle the 1333 and it will run down to 1066? Is that the problem that this is 1333? I ran one stick with one of my old ones and it works fine.
