[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1694885, member: 56379"] This would indicate that the new ram is not the trouble (as indicated by the thread title). [COLOR=#333333][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333]Never heard of this brand. Don't know where you are located in the world. We usually recommend ram from Crucial (crucial.com) or OWC (macsales.com). Overall may or may not be a ram issue. Can't really eliminate ram as an issue until known good ram is used. Or we figure out something else is the problem. The 2-3 days not starting issue (to me) would seem to be power related as things are described. I would try doing an SMC Reset: [/COLOR]https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295 Maybe you can describe more specifically what you mean by "will not start" for 2-3 days. This can mean a number of things: - press power button & get no "life"…nothing. - press power button & display lights up…but computer does not boot (this is not a "won't start" situation). This can be a bad hard drive situation. * Nick [/QUOTE]
