[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1068516, member: 56379"] Yes...OWC are good folks! Do what "chscag" suggests & swap the modules and see if that helps. If that doesn't help...two things: 1. Return the 4gig module of ram to OWC & get another. 2. Apple officially says that your MacBook Pro has a maximum ram limit of 4 gig. Although 3rd party folks have been able to upgrade it to 6 gig...maybe your specific MBP doesn't like 6 gig for some reason. If swapping your current 2 ram modules doesn't work...then I would go with suggestion/idea #1 first (return the ram). But if you still have problems with a second 4 gig module...then maybe "theory" #2 may be the answer. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
