[X4U] Bad ram

[Paul Moortgat]

What is strange is the fact that both of the prohibited the use of these behind it.
It went OK the moment they changed places.  I'll try your suggestion.
Did you also know that when one type something wrong, one can select the word and holding the control key

What happens is over time there will be oxidation build up thus causing a poor contact. As you do this you will notice a change in the color of the contacts. If it is third party ram it could be under warranty as none apple ram can have lifetime warranty. Hope this helps. Email me if you have any questions.  Bob
