Upgrade 8GB RAM crashes late 08 MBP

I recently upgraded my RAM on my:

Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP51.007E.B06

I bought the 8GB from Amazon due to prime: Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2), 204-pin SODIMM, DDR3 PC3-10600 Memory Module (CT2CP51264BC1339)

Amazon.com: Crucial 8GB Kit (4GBx2), 204-pin SODIMM, DDR3 PC3-10600 Memory Module (CT2CP51264BC1339): Computers & Accessories

For some reason the RAM crashes the MBP. It happened numerous times. I reinstalled the 4GB RAM and the problem is no longer there. So my question is, is the RAM I bought off amazon any different than the ones that recommended off OWC?

MacBook, MacBook Pro

I have the correct Boot ROM version listed on the OWC site and I'm running 10.8.2. So I believe my MBP can run 8GB of RAM, why doesn't it work?

Thank you in advance for your insight.

Should be using PC3-8500 RAM in your machine.
Macs can be picky. I'd use the correct speed memory in it.
That could be it.

Could be that 1 or both of the sticks are bad - it happens.

thank you very much... I didn't even notice that PC3 #. I just ordered from OWC. thanks!
