[QUOTE="pendlewitch, post: 1463698, member: 214663"] Hello and welcome, These symptoms look like you may have faulty or poorly seated Ram. Check the slot to make sure the Ram chip is seated correctly first, remove it and re-seat as per instructions available on the Apple Support site [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423]iMac: How to remove or install memory[/url] You could also download some software for checking the chip's integrity. MemTest for Mac is recommended but if you are have stability problems it might not be the best solution at this stage. Edit: sorry Steve you beat me to it there:) [/QUOTE]
