You bought Kingston Ram, that's where you went wrong.

Macs are very particular about their RAM. Not all RAM is compatible and as such most simply do not work.


Kingston RAM in particular is known to have issues with Macs.


If you can, return the RAM, and buy from a source that guarantees their RAM will work with a MAC such as OWC macsales.com or crucial.com
