[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1721558, member: 46727"] Max is 16 GB for that machine according to Mactracker and OWC. Your kernel panics are probably being caused by the 2 x 8 GB modules which may not be compatible with your model iMac. I would send the 8 GB modules back to Crucial and exchange them for 2 x 4 GB modules. Your iMac is being identified by the system as an 11,2 which says it's a 21.5" 2010 model iMac. That model can only hold 16 GB of memory and it's likely the 8 GB modules will not work in it causing your KPs. [/QUOTE]
