Q: Multiple Kernel Panics
My MacBookPro has been having multiple kernel panic since a couple of weeks ago (maybe more)... I was still using Yosemite because when I updated to "El Capitan" last year my Mac became unstable and very slow, I ended changing its hard disk...
I though that the current problem was that I was still using Yosemite so I decided to do a clean installation... Then I went to App Store to look for updates, while updating iMovie a kernel panic occurred again...

According to Apple's specifications, your model can use at most 8 GB of memory, but you've installed 16 GB. The results are unpredictable. See, for example, this ASC discussion.
The manual for the product gives instructions for adding aftermarket memory that read something like this:
You can add two 4 GB memory modules for a maximum of 8 GB of memory.
I know that the aftermarket RAM vendor says that the out-of-spec configuration will work. If you accept that assurance, please ask the vendor for help with any problems that arise. Otherwise, reinstall the original memory, or new memory that meets the official specifications.
