In case anyone else still has issues like this here's the rundown. As I previously mentioned, apple told me to have ram slots tested. I brought it into the one and only mac shop near me and told them to test ram slots per apple's suggestion. The next day I stop in to pick it up as they left me a message that it was done. They did not test the ram slots as I told them to, they just told me that my aftermarket ram was at fault and told me to pay $50 since it was not an apple problem. And the guy fought with me about "no macbook can handle 4gb ram. 2gb is the absolute max". He finally looked on the web and conceded. So even though they didn't do the one and only thing I asked them to do I had to pay for their time, after a bunch of back and forth fighting over not getting the service I asked for I finally decided they weren't worth my time and gave in. (Guaranteed never to go back for anything) I couldn't even grab my macbook and run since they didn't even bring it to the front of the store until it was paid for. I called Crucial and told them that the memory doesn't work and she politely said "no problem, we'll send you some new memory right away". Within 5 minutes I had an RMA and ready to go. Today the new crucial memory came, I installed it and surprisingly enough she started right up and seems to work perfectly. Anyways, thanks again all for the replies and hopefully all goes well from here on out.
