How do I repair RAM banks?

How long have you had 16GB of RAM installed in your 2010 Macbook Pro?

Only the 13 Inch Macbook Pro in 2010 that supports 16GB of RAM.

What speed RAM are you using? 1066MHz is the right RAM speed for your Macbook Pro.

Do you still have the factory ram modules? If so, try running on only the factory ram and see if there is a problem. That could still be faulty ram even if it shows good on the system report. You can try reinstalling the Mac OS X but that still looks more like a hardware issue. If so you can take it into an Apple store genius bar and have them run their diagnostics which are significantly more detailed than anything done by the Apple Hardware Test.

As Ralph Landry1 has pointed out - install your old RAM and if you're still having the same problem.

As to the correct RAM Mhz.....Using non Apple Certified/Tested RAM will have issues with your Macbook Pro.

If you installed generic RAM, even if the speed is the same - issues could arise.

RAM itself confirmed good

I agree with Ralph having Apple check it, I have heard the best RAM tests available at home are not that much compared to what the big companies have in the arsenal.

Corsair is a good reputable company but RAM is such an insanely precise thing to get right, which is why all the trustworthy RAM companies have lifetime exchange warranties on their RAM. Even they know it isn't enough to be the best RAM company, mistakes slip through.

I never buy RAM from Apple and most of the time it's great and I saved money, and the rest of the times I exchange the chips for ones that don't crash.

Consider buying from OWC (Macsales), I use them exclusively, they test and certify the Ram they sell, have excellent instructional videos and great service. Here's a link.

According to OWC the MBP 7,1 is the only 2010 model that can use 16GB (2x8), is this the model you have? (It is a 13")

There have been mixed results with Corsair recently...they were coming on strong with really good memory. Then the Corsair Vengeance series was being used and a few people came on with real problems. So, when you say Corsair you raise questions on here due to the fluid state of the experience people are having.

Macs are so picky about their ram modules, it is hard to separate out where the problems are in that system. As I said earlier, if it were me, and I had the OEM modules those would go in and see if there are problems. And a visit to the genius bar would be very high on the priority list. There is no comparison between their tools and those on the open market.

I buy RAM from OWC a lot for myself, friends, and family because of many years of good experiences with OWC. I just bought some there last week, even though Crucial was cheaper. You should consider Crucial as well as OWC and Corsair.
