Make sure it's seated properly
I macs are notorius for being a very tight RAM socket that can take some real pressure to get the RAM seated properly.

Cheers I'll give that a try
It did go in easy and I did think "that's it ?" It does seem to be at the same level as the other one but I'll try that thanks

The issue is likely incorrect RAM. Return the RAM you bought and buy from either Crucial (outside the USA) or OWC (www.macsales.com).
iMacs are fussy when it comes to RAM, it must be high quality and in many circumstances perfectly specified.
