Constant Kernel Panics

Been having numerous Kernel Panics with Safari since upgrading to Yosemite, tried out Firefox for a while with no Kernel issues yet over the last week I have been flooded by Kernel Panics.


I have re-installed OSX from a formatted drive, re-installed original RAM, run Apple system/hardware checks about a dozen times and no issues found what so ever.


Looking to see if there is anything else I can do


Attached is the last Panic report which is pretty much identical to the last 6 Panics I have had, only difference is the Crashed Thread #

According to Apple's specifications, your model can use at most 8 GB of memory, but you've installed 16 GB. The results are unpredictable. See, for example,this ASC discussion.

The manual for the product gives instructions for adding aftermarket memory that read something like this:

You can add two 4 GB memory modules for a maximum of 8 GB of memory.

I know the RAM vendor says that the out-of-spec configuration will work. If you accept that assurance, please ask the vendor for help with any problems you have with it. Otherwise, reinstall the original memory, or new memory that complies with Apple's instructions.
