Hi Morrison1995 My wife's Macbook had a similar problem. Here is what I found. You changed ram, but did you try using only one ram stick and trying it in first one slot and then the other. With my wife's it did what yours does with both ram installed. she had a bad ram slot.

I want to see if you can get any view screen at all. so I'm going to send you a link to try single user mode. You will be booting to a black screen with white letters. If you get into this mode let the script run, then at the bottom you will see. /sbin/fsck -fy hit return and if it says (file system has been modified) run again until it says the volume appears to be ok. http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203176 By the way what ram and operating system are you running? Just to make, such the ram you should be running is: DDR-3 1066 PC8500 ECC
Ram - 2 x 4gb ddr3l - 1066 S0DIMM MAC
OPERTING system - don't know
The macbook can see the 8gb of ram
unable to to get to single user mode
If you have the original operating system that came with the 2010 Macbook Pro, you are running 10.6 Snow Leopard.The ram you list shows as correct. Did you try single user mode yet?
finally got into single user mode and the macbook volume appears ok message be seen
Mac OS X 10.6.4
Hi Morrison1995 So you were able to go to single user mode to screen and run the sudo/fsck -fy and it came back appears to be ok. And when you reinstalled the Operating system with a clean install. you had a screen. And you used disk utilities off the install disk to erase and reformat the disk. then went and completed the install but it did not boot to start up screen as far as you know. The screen went white and then turned black. Am I right on this so far. So did you use an install dvd?
after the clean install it worked fine till I went back to it and on boot just remained black. Now the mac is booting but after a while it as me 'you need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button till it turns off, then press the power button again
Hi Morrison1995. That is a kernel panic.Something you have installed is causing a conflict. After you had it running the first time did you download on install any apps? Read this article. http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS3742
