Q: MacBook Pro 2008 crashes constantly with Yosemite

Hi!

 

I'm running an early 2008 15" MacBook Pro with 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB memory, and I just installed Yosemite 10.10.2 as well as the 4 GB memory and a new Samsung 840 EVO SSD 250 GB hard drive and now my computer crashes frequently, seemingly at random. It freezes, for a second, then shuts down and starts up again and this is the report it provides once it has restarted:

I don't understand the report at all and I couldn't find another topic with the same problem, so if anyone has any ideas what is wrong, if there's something I could fix, I'd really appreciate the help! Before the upgrade my MBP was running OS X 10.5.8 and after replacing the old hard drive with the new SSD drive and upgrading the 2 GB memory to 4 GB I first installed OS X 10.6.8 and only then downloaded Yosemite.

 

I'll gladly provide more information if needed!

Thank you,
H

    I would suggest that you replace the new RAM with the original RAM and see if the panics stop.  You can also test the new RAM with one module at a time in each slot.

     

    Note that you have a MBP that was built with a faulty GPU though the report does not indicate that it is the cause of the panic report:

    Here is a trouble shooting guide that may prove to be useful:

    Thanks so much for the superfast reply!

     

    It seems that the new RAM was the problem, although memtest on both RAMs gave me nothing but okays all the way. But I removed one of the new RAMs anyway and with only one RAM in one of the slots there hasn't been anymore panics. So thank you!

     

    It is kind of a shame though, because with 4 GB RAM my MBP was a lot faster and they were specifically for MBPs too, so I'm wondering what's the problem. The memtest said they were fine too, and my MBP should be able to handle max. 4 GB RAM, so could the RAM still be faulty despite what the memtest said, or is there possibly something I could do to stop the panics and still use the 4 GB RAM? I know it's probably a long shot to ask, but I have to try in case someone is experiencing the same problem and knows what to do.

     

    Still, thank you so much for you help, OGELTHORPE!

    A model identifier 4.1 MBP will accept up to 6 GB RAM.  The problem that you may have encountered is that Macs are very selective when it comes to RAM.  Some brands with the 'correct' specifications will not work properly in a Mac.  The two best sources for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.

     

    The correct RAM specifications for your MBP are:  200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM.  A 2 GB module and a 4 GB module will provide the best results.

     

    Ciao.

    Oh, okay, well I will look into if I'll be able to get my hands on any of those RAMs, thank you so much for your help again : ) !
