[QUOTE="MBP13, post: 1015316, member: 147047"] Hi, I have standard Macbook with 2 x 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM installed. About 6 - 8 months ago i started looking for new RAM as i use a lot of intensive programs at the same time like Photoshop and i was starting to see a little too much of the colour wheel. I had a look around and bought from Crucial.com what i read was supported RAM for my Mac (2 x 2GB DDR2 PC2-5300 MEMORY MODULE). Recently when i start up my Macbook, i have been getting a plain white screen where it keeps doing two loud beeps and then waits and does it again. As i couldn't start up after a while i looked for a solution. After trying quite a few solutions the only one i could find that worked was removing my RAM and installing the factory spec RAM. This is fine but i am starting to see a lot of slowing down and crashing programs again. I assume my newer RAM is dead and there's nothing i can do? I suppose i just have to pay for more again? If so, what can i do to try and stop this happening except forking out for longer warranties? Get different RAM? Buy from another shop? Thanks, Martyn [/QUOTE]
