Q: RAM Upgrade Macbook 5.1 (2008)

I know this has kind off been covered before....

But how much RAM can I add to my MacBook 5.1 (Late 2008)??

I have read on the forums that 8GB is possible, However, Installing 2x 4GB and my macbook won't boot up. If I install 1x4GB and leave an original 1GB (totalling 5GB) I have no problems, just a slightly slow MacBook.

Both of the 4GB ram are from the same manufacturer, same specs etc and it makes no difference which of the RAM I install (so not faulty), nor which slot I install them in.

Any Help, Ideas or Advice in general will be really appreciated

MacBook (13-inch Aluminum Late 2008), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
