MACBOOK "hanging up or freezing" AFTER RAM UPGRADE

I recently upgraded the ram on my macbook from 1 GB to 4GB. it would boot up and operate normally for sometime and then would suddenly freeze showing the colorwheel icon, i can't even use the force quit option..i would then have to turn off the machine. i don't know if this is a compatibility issue with the ram sticks i bought. i hope someone could help me with my problem. below are some info from the system profiler:

Hey Brian James & welcome to the forums.
If you still have the old RAM, put that back into the computer and see how the computer performs. You may find it a little slow, but it shouldn't keep locking up if the new RAM is the issue.

Macbook Pro is Not Booting After RAM Upgrade

Hi,
I just upgraded the RAM in my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion from 4gb to 8gb (Using the memory that the guy at Fry's recommended). It has been stuck on the Apple logo for about 20 minutes after the upgrade, even after I made sure that the RAM was seated properly. Is it normal for it to take this long to boot after a RAM upgrade?

I installed 8gb (2 X4gb) and it has a maximum of 8gb. I have determined that it was just bad RAM, so I will return it as soon as I can.
Thanks.

MacBook Pro won't boot after ram upgrade...

Hey everybody! Hope everyone is having a great Christmas! I got a 16gb ram upgrade for my 2012 MacBook Pro 15 today and I am having some trouble with the upgrade. Its an odd problem. I installed the two 8gb sticks no problem, but when I try and boot into OS X the machine shows the apple logo with the spinning wheel underneath, and then it just shuts itself off. I don't know what the problem is. The machine boots fine into my Windows 7 partition, and registers both sticks of ram. OS X restore also boots no problem and lets me reinstall OS X, which is what I am doing currently. IDK if this is just because of a hardare change or what. The ram I installed is Adata pc3 12800 1600mhz ram, so it should be supported.

Replace the Ram, buy from OWC or Crucial, buy the Ram Apple recommend, don't rely on "it should work"

My Macbook Pro Freezes after RAM Upgrade

I have a newly purchased macbook pro that came with lion, MC700, with 4GB of ram Default. I purchased CMSO8GX3M2A1333C9 from newegg to give me 8GB of ram. After installing the RAM, if i use the macbook for extneded periods of time the screen will hardlock, graphics artifacting is seen on screen and it beeps, causing me to hard shut down the unit. This is most noticeable when using Youtube HD or watching a DVD movie. I ran apple hardware diagnostics and it says everything is fine, I also ran memtest overnight with no errors. Thinking this might be a corrupt lion install i reinstalled clean and still get the issue. I bootcamped windows 7 x64 onto the unit and it will BSOD and hardlock just like lion would. I used the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool and it said no errors. My return time has expired for both the macbook (purchased at a best buy) and the RAM (from newegg). I know i can contact corsair but I dont know if that will even help, any ideas? My system is up to date with the newest updates as well.

I forgot to put that in the OP, when putting back the 4gb stock it works fine, but doesnt solve my issue. THe ram tests fine, is the MBP just that picky? I know i can RMA with corsair but there really isnt anything wrong with said ram its like its overheating when the new ram is put in

Macbook Pro restarts or freezes after Lion upgrade!

My 2007 Macbook Pro restarts (without warning-it's like losing power and get it back immediately) or freezes EVERYTIME when certain key combinations are used, e.g -b (minus then letter b, not at the same time), copy a sentence long and Ctrl-v, and some others that i am not even aware of.
This happens only after i updated to Lion! First, i thought it is because of the OS, but it crashed even in single mode with those key pressed. So, i used Apple Hardware Test, but it freezes during the test, every time
I tried resetting PRAM,SMC already. This is very weird and I have googled for all day long, hoping to find an answer for this problem but got no luck at all!
As my last attempt today, i backup data, format the hard drive and install Tiger. However, the problem persists. I am Vietnam, so take it to an apple store is not an option as we dont have any here!
Do you guys have any idea? This is driving crazy! 4 clients are chasing me :d
Thanks in advance!

Did reinstalling help? If not, then consider reinstalling Lion on a newly formatted drive. Let the system reinstall using Internet Recovery instead of reinstalling from a USB flash drive. The downloaded installation will be 10.7.2.
Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

MacBook Pro (mid 2007) freezes after upgrade to Mavericks

Hello,
After the upgrade to Mavericks my MacBook Pro (mid 2007) freezes after a couple of minutes of usage - after successful install and the use of some apps. Not bad enough the system is now always crashing if I try to boot. PM reset didn't help. Booting from the restore partition was possible, but I decided to go back to a working backup of 10.8.4 made a minute before I tried to upgrade. Why 10.8.4? Because 10.8.5 causes the strange problem that the Mac freezes after wake up from sleep.
Any suggestions?
Anyone else having this problem?
Kind regards

I did a clean install of mavericks on my MBP (mid 2007) and still it freezes at arbitary points. The very first time when it booted up it worked for longer and when I started to apply updates from app store, it froze. Successive boots froze much early, like within few seconds of booting.
I am going to check this by booting in safe mode. I am losing hope with mavericks on my MBP (mid 2007) and will switch back to snow leopard (10.6.8) which was working seemless.
I checked so many things, based on other posts to make sure if my MBP is really Mid 2007. IT IS.
Rgds,
Raj.

MacBook not booting after RAM upgrade

I'm sorry if the case has been already posted.
Yesterday I took my MacBook Alu unibody late 2008 to a RAM upgrade (from 2 to 4gigs) to an offical Mac Reseller. They installed it and showed me that the system loads properly and recognized the new RAM.
I took it home, started working on After Effects and Photoshop and when i wanted to check a video on Quicktime, this program refused to boot.
Then photoshop freeze and after effects did so. I quited all aplications and restarted. On restart after the 'bong' i've got the grey screen white an apple logo and a loading bar underneath, that was it, it never finished loading but shutting down.
After the 2nd try the computer gave me the BAD RAM alarm signal right before the start button was pressed and nothing more. I just managed to start it ONCE on safe mode, but this one also freezed and colapsed.
Today i didn't get the BAD ram alarm but the grey screen and loading bar after shutting down.
I took it back to the reseler, the shop boss who did the upgrade wasn't there , the guys on the morning shift placed the old RAM back resulting the same. So they told me it's a software problem, not hardware and might be caused by a failed firmware update or something i did wrong and since i was showed that the system booted after the upgrade i can't complain or argue that they did somethiing wrong.
So basically the want 80euros to check what's wrong with my computer plus the 120 i already payed them for a RAM that doesn't work and of course the repair cost of the computer.
On monday i'll go to talk to the boss, what do you guys recomend me to tell him? i'm frustrated that the guys there treat me like if i broke my computer for beeing stupid and wanted to get it fixed for free, when it clearly broke after they did something wrong on it!
please advice me!
thanks!

What brand is the RAM? From what you said, it is obvious that the RAM is at fault. I would simply tell them that it is not compatible and return the RAM.
Check the System Profiler to see what it says about the RAM (Apple Logo - About this Mac - More Info) and run this application to test the RAM:
http://www.memtestosx.org/joomla/index.php
If either shows any errors, print out the results and take them with you to the store.

Battery drains while sleeping after RAM upgrade

Installed 16 GB of RAM and a Hybrid/SSD 1 TB internal HD on MacBook Pro 15" mid 2012 and now the battery drains while the computer is in sleep mode, about 1-3 % per hour. Before the RAM upgrade (stock 4 GB of RAM) there was no noticeable battery drain, so I assume it has to do with the upgrade. I read that it takes more power to maintain 16 GB of RAM during sleep, so my questions are as follows:
Is 1-3% per hour normal?
Will resetting the SMC help the issue?
Does the Hybrid HD have anything to do with this?
I am not too happy about the battery drain as it happens that I don't use my laptop for some time and prior to the upgrade the loss of battery charge was not an issue at all. Is this the price I have to pay for maxing out my RAM or is there a way (resets, settings, etc) to reduce the amount of battery loss
Thanks for your input.

Hi everybody. I have the same question. I have a macbook unibody late 2008. I have recently upgraded the OS to Yosemite. In order to have a smoother functioning of the system I have immediately replaced my original 2Gb (1+1) RAM with 8 Gb (4+4). Since then, I have noticed a dramatic reduction of my battery charge during sleep mode. Now after 8 hours of sleep it goes from 100% to around 65% (before it was 95%). Is it a natural consequence of having installed a larger RAM or there could be anything wrong with my settings?
I have read a couple of articles about standby mode and standbydelay setting but this does not apply to my model of macbook.
Here is my pmset -g result:
Active Profiles:
Battery Power        -1*
AC Power        -1

Mac mini won't boot after RAM upgrade.

Tried installing new RAM in my Mac Mini, 512MB stock to 2GB of Crucial. Followed the directions to a T, grounded myself the whole time.
Things I've tried so far:
1. Resetting the PRAM, no luck.
2. Holding option at start-up, shows no icon.
3. Holding shift, no luck.
4. Holding X, nothing.
How do I get it to accept a CD if it won't boot?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You clearly have a problem, but you don't describe exactly what that is other than that your mini won't boot after the upgrade. What happens when it starts up? Does it attempt to start and hang up on the grey or blue screens, or does it start beeping at you almost immediately after you try and start it up, and also flash the power light?
If the former, then you may have dislodged a connector while working inside the system, in which case opening it up and checking that everything is firmly connected would be the first thing to do. If the latter, then the beeping/light flashing is the system telling you it has failed the power-on self test and the pattern of beeps/lights indicates why. In your case likely the system can't find workable memory. In that instance, opening the system and ensuring that the RAM is firmly and fully seated would be a good step, and if the mini continues to fail, then replacing the new RAM with the original to test that the system will then start.
It is not likely that anything had damaged your MacOS install in the process of upgrading, thus normally no reason to need to boot to CD as a result of a RAM issue.

IMac freezes after lion upgrade

Upgraded imac from SL to lion, and now the computer freezes when waking from sleep or switching accounts. I have no issues during the process of using the computer. I have installed new RAM (4gigs), reinstalled the OS, erased the HD (securely) and rebuilt from back-up, pram, disk utilities, disk warrior. Read in one post that this may be the logic board and that Apple may be replacing these in certain modles. I never had the computer freeze when I was running SL, and I am a school IT guy with over 100 macs running SL and this does not happen at school. I have heard from others of the same thing once they go to Lion but the Apple Store says they have not heard of it! Do not see how this could be a hardware thing since it looks to happen after Lion upgrade.
Any ideas

I did do the above as I read that may work too, I also made it so the HD never sleeps. Did not help for me, computer still freezes when switching accounts, not all the time, on average every other day I need to do a hard restart.
Still looking for the answer

Mid 2009 MacBook Air - Most navigation freezes after reboot, fixed after hibernate

On my Mid 2009 MacBook Air, at some point after upgrading to 10.8.2 (not sure if it is directly related), a strange behavior started:
Boots up normally, but then most navigation is frozen.
Mouse cursor moves fine, but can't "click" anything.
Tab and Return keys work, which I can use w/ power button to select restart or shutdown.
Other keys work, somehow got to spotlight window one time and was able to type search term and hit Return
Dash menu won't slide up when I move cursor to bottom, as it normally does
Every once in awhile everything works fine after a restart, maybe 1 out of 25 times
Problem exists even in Safe Boot
Temporary workaround: I have noticed the problem is magically fixed after a hibernate, until the next shutdown. So after restart I close my MacBook to force a hibernate, reopen once I see the white light flashing, and then everthing is fine. So far this workaround consistently works. I rarely shut down by MacBook under normal conditions so I'm certainly not dead in the water, but I would like to get this thing figured out if possible.
Other data, and what I've tried so far:
Searched to find others that might have had this problem and already determined a fix, didn't find any
Logged in as different user (Guest), problem still existed
Nuked all the apps that were automatically loading at startup, didn't help
Tried Safe Boot, problem sitll existed
Used Disk Utility to Verify Disk, no problems found
Reloaded 10.8.2, didn't help
Loaded 10.8.2 supplemental update, didn't help
No new apps loaded within last few months
Not running AV software
Unfortunately I don't have Time Capsule set up
I have about 300 lines from my System Log that captures a Restart after which the problem existed, immediately followed by a Hibernate after which the problem was fixed. Would it be appropriate for me to paste it in here? I'm not knowledgeable enough to troubleshoot through the System Log.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Rob

It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

SAP 4.6C hangs when Brtools run after oracle upgrade 10.2.0.4

Hi All,
We have Upgraded the Oracle 9i to 10.2.0.4 for sap 4.6C production machine. After the upgrade the sap was succesfully able to start. even i can see the version was reflected in the sap system status. in the Opatch lsinventory all the bug fixes are covered. However when ever the brtools starts like taking the backup, or dbcheck, or archivelog backup. we are getting terminated with errors and the system system hangs. here is the initSID.log as follows.

Hi Stefan,
I have already raised an sap call with very high priority. Sap has also verified and given me a few commands to verify if there any data block corruptions by using the dbverify and export of database to null. The export log and the db verify log shows no error. all the database if fine without any data block corruptions. is it like if patchset is not done well then will be get these type of problems? But i can see the Opatch lsinventory log shows all the patchsets and the bugs covered as per the patchset we applied. here is the Opatch lsinventory logfile for your reference. finally sap told that it is due to fault memory chip. we also did a memory test to see is it really a fault memory chip. but the memory test shows no errors. what could be the error. please help!

Video will not play on Canvas or NTSC after RAM upgrade

editing on a G5 v. 10.4.11, Dual 1.8 Ghz G5 with a recent upgrade to 4GB of ram. Have an AJA IO LA
After the RAM upgrade, FCP timeline will play but video is black in the canvas and image is frozen on the NTSC. Video WILL play in Viewer but no audio.
All cables have been checked to make sure they were put back correctly - will keep checking for errors in re-cabling computer.
Have tried refreshing displays and other tests with displays. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

pull the ram, problem goes away? - bad ram
you can pull 2 sticks at a time to isolate which chip it is.
did you get it from a good source - Crucial.com is my favorite, OWC is popular too - both have lifetime warranty

Display problem after RAM Upgrade to MS6712

Hi there,
after a RAM upgrade (512mb to 3GB) my PC has developed a display problem. The graphics are slow / rippled and video playback is very poor. In device manager no "display adapters" are present and there is also an error mesage referring to the VIA CPU to AGP2/AGP3.0 controller not having enough free resources to run due to a conflisct with VGAsave? I've downloaded the latest VIA chipset drivers to no effect?
System info: MS6712 MB, AMD Athlon 1.25GHZ, XP SP3.0

OK, here's the info on my PSU;
It's a Powerman FSP250-60GTU(PF). Input: 230V - 5A, 50Hz. Max Output: 250W
While I had the case open I took out 2 of the RAM modules and without making any other changes everything appeared to work fine with just the 1GB, so I tried putting 1 more back in to take it to 2GB and again all seems fine? Does this indeed point to my PSU then? If so and it works fine with 2GB should I be thankfull for a 512mb to 2GB upgrade and send the 3rd module back to Crucial??
Before I posted this thread I did run a memtest from Memtest86+ with all three modules installed and it came up with NO problems?
Re Henry's post, I searched using the format of the part no on the RAM modules themselves i.e. M368L2923FLN-CB3 and it took me here:
http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/productListNonflexTable.do?fmly_id=118&sht_id=1
Other info on printed the modules themselves: 1GB DDR PC2700 CL2.5
According to Everest my CPU temp (with 2GB installed) is: 43 degrees (MOBO 30 degrees and HD 42 degrees) - do these seem normal?

Photo Booth is freezing after Maverick upgrade. Any help?

Photo Booth has been freezing since I upgraded to Maverick yesterday. On my MacBook Pro, it shut it down. On my iMac, it did the same thing. Once I did manage to get it up again on the iMac, I got a spinning ball in less than 30 seconds, and then it just crashed.
On the MacBook Pro Retina Display, it crashes immediately — and, even then, the screen in Photo Booth is completely blacked out.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Dragging and dropping to a web-based email (gmail) makes the photo appear inside the message itself, and not as an attachment, which is what I wanted.
