Q: Mac Mini (mid 2010) stoped booting with 8GB RAM
Hello,
I went thru (I think) all related topics, but my issue is little bit different.
Got Mac Mini (mid 2010) in our company for developming.
About two month ago we decided to upgrade RAM, so we ordered this memory kit: Patriot SO-DIMM Signature Line Apple 8GB (kit 2x 4GB) 1333
At first, I had problems to install stick at all, but after a little bit of magic, I made this mac mini fully operational with 2x4GB of RAM.
Today, Mac have to be restarted, after restart only beeping (long single beep).
And I am back in situaion where I was two months ago. It is working with 4+1, 1+4, 4+0, 0+4 or 1+1 sticks combinations, but not in 4+4.
Again, it worked normally for more than two months, detected in OS, everywhere.
Tried reset PRAM, reset EFI, OSX: Lion 10.7.4
Thanks for any idea, my "magic" is not working anymore
Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Ok, so, as we ordered two of this memory kits upgrades, I have 4x4GB 1333 Patriot module.
I got 2pcs of Mac mini mid 2010 and two mid 2011
Two newer got 2x2GB 1333 hynix modules. So I put it out, combined with new Patriots and VOILA!!!!
All Mac mini (both 2010 and 2011) are now running 6GB (4+2) of RAM at 1333 speed.
If there is any infidel, I can post a screen from Mac mini 2010 running at 1333
