[QUOTE="MacDulles, post: 1611413, member: 334921"] Much appreciate the RAM heads-up. My 2009 24" iMac Core 2 Duo was purchased from Mac Business Solutions in Gaithersburg,Md , whom purchased direct from Apple & whom have been licensed for selling and servicing Macs exclusively for 24 years. I'm sure they have a record of what brand RAM they had installed in 3/2009 if it wasn't already ordered thru them w/ all 8GBs pre-installed. Like I said, this has *never* happened to me before on this iMac owned since 3/2009 w/ same RAM it came with. Will use the Rember test app that I just downloaded as you prescribe, but cwa107's diagnosis sounds pretty dire. As asked before ,Is there *any* useful intelligence buried in the lines of Apple shutdown report code that can be useful to a layman to flag as signals of what is actually going wrong seeing as how Apple wants a snapshot record of conditions leading up to crash, in this case the KP? If anyone knows code-reading what would *I* look for ? I just would want to spare all of you to post its entirety here like another MacForum poster did. [/QUOTE]
