Hi all,
I have a macbook pro mid 2010, 2.77Ghz i7. My macbook had an issue and now only one module of RAM work.
Does anyone knows if 1 module of 8Gb work in this model?
I know the maximum ram is 8Gb (2x4Gb) but unaware if 1x8Gb also works.
thank you for any responses to my doubt.
Regards
MacBook Pro (17-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

Hi leroydouglas,
So I got the 8Gb module, finally. I installed it (taking the other out). So, the system breaks every time it boots and every time differently. I didn't managed to be able to work on it, the most advanced state that I manage to see was it MacOSX it freezes booting an app but still while starting up. Normally it throws kernel errors.
If I put back the 4Gb module everything goes slow but smoothly.
If I put the two modules of 4Gb: sooner or later 3 beeps happen and I have to take the memory out so I can turn the computer on.
Any last resort thoughts?
You have to verify you have the correct spec's on the RAM. This is the most obvious cause of random faults.
Otherwise I can only speculate a bad bank on the board, or memory controller chip.

It does not sound like you have the appropriate modules, working correctly, in your MacBook. kernel panics with a non-Trend correlate strongly with memory errors.
I put one OWC 8566DDR3S8GB and only one module in the motherboard.
I believe is the motherboard in a specific port. The other modules that had were 4Gb each and worked until this three beeps issue came up. From that moment on: 1 module worked ok.

I put a OWC 8566DDR3S8GB so in the end OWC/8566DDR3S8GB is not compatible with this model then.
1x8Gb Macbook Pro mid 2010 possible?
