I bought two modules of RAM (2x8gb) = 16gb for my Unibody Macbook 7.1 mid 2010 (white, not pro).'s not working! help!

hi all. (and sorry for mi english)

I have a macbook white unibody mid 2010. (this is not the aluminium MB Pro model).

recently I bought the RAM from ebay germany.
this is the link:

The brand is CSX.
2x8gb = 16gb

I had understood that I had to install osx lion or higher system in order to accept the ram. for that reason, I installed mavericks (10.9.2 version).


but...

The mac never worked. Just heard a beep that comes and goes.
and I already tried:
- Install two RAM memory (2x8gb). nothing.
- Install only one ram (1x8gb). nothing.
- Insert a memory 8gb ram with another 1gb (Original apple ram). nothing.
also I try updating the EFI to the latest version. but nothing happened.


I read the post for update 16gb of ram in a macbook mid 2010 on this page:

Hi.


These MacBooks just don´t normally work with 16GB. Sell the RAM and buy 2x4GB.

I think 8GB is more then enough for this processor type. More RAM seems only usefull with i7 class processors.
