Upgraded new MBP MD 101LLA to 16g ram and runs slower now
Hi,
I tried posting this to Apple Support Community and it said I couldn't so this is the closest I could get.
I just bought this MBP MD101LLA last week from BestBuy. Upgraded RAM to 16g cos the colorful wheel kept spinning whenever I was using Firefox or anything (although, I do tend to have over 50-100 tabs open at a time). Upgraded RAM, Firefox kept crashing. Tried closing tabs, still crashing, uninstalled, reinstalled, seems ok now. Anyway, I am a Windows/Samsung person cos I can build/fix those but not Mac so much. I need help with why this computer is slow. Do I just need to put an SSD in it? Or bring it back. I have another MBP that my son spilled water in and I got that back to life last night, but it probably needs a new logic board, as it needs to be plugged in and the battery unplugged, but that's another story. Do I need to bring this one back? Or just delete stuff off the menubar or SSD it? Or is it Yosemite 10.10.3? Thank you so much for your help. Following is the EtreCheck info.
