[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1323334, member: 56379"] Yes...most likely faulty ram...for two reasons: 1. Like you said this didn't happen before the ram upgrade. 2. "Bad" ram is one of the #1 hardware related reasons for a kernel panic. Usually OWC is a great place to get "Mac Stuff"...but I guess no one's perfect. They have a great return policy...so you should have no troubles returning the ram...and getting a replacement. If you still get the kernel panics AFTER the 2nd set of ram...then the problem may be something else. Matter of fact...you should probably reinstall your old ram...and see if you get kernel panics BEFORE returning the ram (just in case the problem is something else). Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
