[QUOTE="wot_fan, post: 357085, member: 28399"] I just bought a 1GB Crucial memory stick for my 2 week old MBP. I installed it last Wednesday. Everything worked fine until yesterday ([I]Sunday[/I]). Three times I came back to my MBP to find an error message saying I had to reboot ([I]I think it is Mac's equivalent to the MS BSOD[/I]). I am wondering if the new memory is the cause. I have run Techtool Deluxe ([I]included with my AppleCare[/I]) to test the memory. It did not find any problems. Is there another utility I can test the memory with? If the memory isn't the cause, what else should I look at? The only thing I did differently when the problem occurred was to leave preview open with the Final Cut Express manual loaded. Seti@home was the only other app that was active ([I]starts after 5 minutes of inactivity[/I]), but I have been using that without incident since the day I bought my MPB. In fact, Seti@home has run every night since I purchased the MBP. TIA for any advice/comments. [/QUOTE]
