Hi. I have a 24" iMac early 2008 running OSX 10.8.2.
Its been running really slow over the last few months, but has been stable apart from that. I decided to increase the RAM from 2gb to 4gb and bought a matching pair of RAM sticks from Mr Memory in the UK.
I've installed the sticks and the 4gb is being recognised. However, several times during the day the machine is now restarting due to a serious error. The only thing that's changed is the RAM.
I've run a test on the RAM using Rember and it says that the RAM is passing all the tests. This is the problem report I get - can anyone help?
Thanks.
