Dear Sir
I upgrade 16GB to my mac mini 2012 (late, Part No.MD388TA/A) memory ram. It made the mac crashed when I into the desktop. I use the Kingston memory ram 8g x 2 (KVR16SS/8) 1.5V.
Could you help me to check the memory ram it can use the mac mini 2012(late)?
Thanks
Reagrds,

Macs are very picky about RAM. Long ago I learned that there are two very reliable sources for memory: Crucial Tech and OWC (macsales.com). I suggest you return the memory upgrade you purchased and try one of these two venders.
I also support what the others are saying and only purchase OWC or Crucial modules for all Mac's.
Does the Mac Mini still work, when you install the original modules? If it does, then return those 8GB modules and purchased some from a different vendor.
1600MHz DDR3 PC4-12800 -- Maximum 16GB supported
This is the only 8GB RAM Kingston specifies for the Mac mini on their site.
KCP316SD8/8

OWC has matching RAM that's less expensive, same speed, etc, same warranty

Crucial also sells mac RAM, just make sure any RAM you buy says it works with that model Mac. Matching speed, latency, timing, etc isn't aways a sure thing with Macs.
also if you have not done so already putting an SSD in the 2012 would add YEARS to that computer's viability.
