SERIOUSLY HELP ME!!! My MacBook Pro's acting weird!

Ok, I have a SERIOUS problem. I just got 8GB of RAM for my MacBook pro, I checked 4 times to make sure I had the right one, DDR3 1333mHz PC3-10600. I installed it, then turned my computer on. It worked until the login screen. I clicked my name, then a popup came and said "please restart your computer by holding the power button until the screen comes off, and then power it back on." this happened several times, until i decided to go back to my 4GB. I booted it up, then the loading screen with the white BG and grey apple and loading icon came up, and it stayed that way. I then turned it off, then went back to the 8GB again, then the same thing that happened with the 4GB, happened with the 8GB: white BG, grey apple logo, and loading icon. I don't know what to do now as it is still loading as we speak, and I even went to the movies, and came back and it was still loading. Please help me, I don't know what to do and I am scared that I might have messed something up PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), 13" Early 2011 Model

Help is via the folks you bought the ram from which sounds like even though the specs match may not be the appropriate quality for your MBP. You did not mention where you bought it from or the make and model number. However, do check with:

macsales.com

crucial.com

for the quality ram your MBP needs.
