I upgraded my RAM but now my MBP loses connection to wireless network in 5-10 minutes - what's going on?

Hello,
This afternoon I installed 16GB of RAM (Patriot brand) into my 2011 Macbook Pro.  When I booted the computer up, everything seemed great until the internet stopped connecting (it did connect at first).  AirPort tells me it is connected to my home wireless network, but any browser I use cannot connect to the web.  I restarted the machine, and again, the internet worked great for 5-10 minutes and then stopped working.  I restarted a third time with the same result.
I'm very confused as to why this is happening, and any thoughts or advice would be appreciated!

Ah! Unfortunately, I'm on a company computer and can't just try these things myself. If that's the issue, I can ask our admins and they'll do it, but I want to make sure I've exhausted anything that could be a small fix.
Is that a shot in the dark, or are you thinking there's a reason a clean install is the solution? Thanks for the help.

  • Upgraded imac to lion now can't keep connection to wireless network, iPhone and iPad are fine?????

    Have upgraded my imac to lion and now it can't hold onto my wireless network connection, also having intermittant problems with mail incoming, and not able to send mail out. Wireless network, and mail working fine with my ipad and iphone.  Any ideas out there??

    I actually had that problem when I was downloading Lion it would connect but then if I tried to go on safari it said no internet connection and an exclamation point would be in the wifi bar. If you click on you wifi bar click on the option that says no error no internet or something like that. I deleted my network and then reestablished it as like it was the first time has been fine since even after the upgrade. I was in panic mode when it happend to because all my other stuff worked and i just got my new imac last week

  • I upgraded my Iphone, but now I can't connect it to itunes because it is not upgraded. However, when I want to upgraded, it says that my computer (imac)  needs to be upgraded to another version. I can't find anything to help me out.

    I upgraded my Iphone to IOS6, but now I can't connect it to itunes (10.6.3) because it is not upgraded. However, when I want to upgraded, it says that my computer (imac Mac OS 10.5.8)  needs to be upgraded to another version. I can't find anything to help me out.

    You need iTunes 10.7 or later.
    To get this, you need Mac OS 10.6.8 or later.
    You can get 10.6 Snow Leopard here -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • Upgraded to lion but now can not run parallel desktop.

    upgraded to lion but now can not run parallel desktop. The message show can not load parallel drivers.
    Anyone can solve it?

    Do you have Parallels Desktop 6?  That is the version you need to have it run under Lion.

  • I just upgraded to FF 4.o, had 3.X running just fine, the upgrade went fine, but now it won't open Firefox at all.

    I just upgraded to FF 4.o, had 3.X running just fine, Windows 7, the upgrade went fine, but now it won't open Firefox at all, it just loads and sits there and stops, but my task manager shows FF running in the background, I have tried reinstalling twice, no change, what is causing this?
    Processes is the only place it shows Firefox running, programs won't show it in Task Manager.

    Reinstall 10.6 again, but this time hold c boot off the 10.6 and erase the ENTIRE internal drive.
    You do this by selecting the drive makers name and size on the left hand side, not the slightly indented partition underneath it.
    If you erase and install 10.6 only into a parittion, say Macintosh HD, the you still have the hidden Lion Recovery Partition on the drive and it appears you already have 10.7
    In the MAS, hold option and click Purchases to redownload Lion
    FYI, you don't need to install 10.6 to reinstall 10.7, 10.7 can be reinstalled via the Lion Recovery, Command r boot.

    Have not a clue if this a LION problem or Microsoft problem.  My gut says Microsoft as they acknowledge the problem in their support section.  Their solution:  Open files with previous version of Word.  That is completely unacceptable as a solution in my opinion.  Why would have I ever bothered to upgrade to 2011 if I had known I need to keep a version of 2008 running on my computer. 
    Honestly I don't know if it's a Lion or MS problem eihter. I have been using Lion for many months with Office 2011 with no problems though.The earliest version I had on my machine was 2008 and 2011 opened those files with no problems at all. As Dave mentioned earlier he opens Office 2004 files all the time with 2011.
    One thing you might want to do is restart the computer while holding down the Option key then select the Restore Volume and run Disk Utility and repair the Disk Permissions on the HD. Run DP at least 2x.

  • Upgrade ip5 to ios6.0.2 and now I can't connect to the network (was fine with 6.0.1).

    I just upgraded my ip5 to ios6.0.2 and now I can't connect to the network (was fine with 6.0.1). I bought the phone  online in Canada but have a Hong Kong simcard. Any solution to connect to network?

    I bought mine in the US and activated using a German SIM.  It worked fine first on 6.0.1.  After upgrading to 6.0.2 the SIM does not work.  I have reset the reset the phone and still does not work. I loaded a new SIM and the phone worked for few minutes before going to Searching mode after I restarted the device.  I am being told by the Genius Bar team that this is a Hardware failure.

  • I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green

    I just got my cable company to switch my wireless router to a wired one considering now I have the wireless airport device (the newest one) but now I can't get a wireless signal. The router works when directlyplugged in,the aiport wireless device is green. I've tried going through my new MacBook Pro settings and it the diagnostics check, it says network changes detected, I tell it that it "yes" does connect to a cable modem, it tells me to restart it, after I do it asks if there are any other devices hooked up ( firewall) and when I say no it tells me that it can't fix the problem.
    Now I know that I probably have a new IP address because of the cable company switching the boxes but it was working fine with the other box, now there isn't a signal to be had on it!
    Please anybody out there that can help!!!??

    Any time you change networking hardware it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle with the new equipment. Check out the following AirPort User Tip. Please post back your results.

  • I am running 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro 5.3. I want to upgrade to Maverick but am concerned that I will loose all contacts in my AddressBook. What can I do to save them?

    I am running 10.6.8 on my MacBook Pro 5.3. I want to upgrade to Maverick but am concerned that I will loose all contacts in my AddressBook. What can I do to save them?

    File menu, Export, Address Book Archive. (I think that's where it is in SL).
    However, do you not have a full backup of your Mac? Upgrading without one is not really advisable unless your contacts are all you care about.

  • I downloaded ios7 after being asked to restore. But now my phone wont connect to the activation server and is asking to restore again but I cant because itunes does not show any of my phone information

    I downloaded ios7 after being asked to restore. But now my phone wont connect to the activation server and is asking to restore again but I cant because itunes does not show any of my phone information (it just shows a blank white screen with "iphone" in the centre".

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

  • I just bought an iTunes card in Spain but now I'm in Switzerland and it says it's not valid, what can I do?

    I just bought an iTunes card in Spain but now I'm in Switzerland and it says it's not valid, what can I do?

    Sorry, but there's nothing you can do. iTunes Cards are valid only in the country of purchase. So you cannot use that card in the Swiss iTunes Store. Sell or give the card to someone back in Spain.
