Bad ram is a frequent cause of kernel panics. Try removing the new ram, and put your old ram back in.

If you have no kernel panics with the old ram...then the new ram is faulty...which probably means you need to return it.

Good luck,

unfortunatly i dont have my stock ram here but i do have a lifetime warrantee for my ram...... i am just backing up and wiping to see if that helps any, i need to do this anyways and if that does not help then it probably is faulty ram, ill post whatever fixes my problem......thanks
