Macbook Restarts Automatically After RAM Changed

kernel-panicmacbook promemory

I have a MacBook Pro with OX 10.9.3 installed having 5 Gb of RAM. Yesterday I changed the RAM, and since that, my MacBook restarts automatically while working. I thought it was an issue with the new RAM, so I removed the extra RAM, but still getting same problem.

Here is the log of my Unexpected restart of the machine :

Best Answer

Clearly you should test your RAM

  • Using the Apple tool for that

To launch the hardware tests, boot your Mac with Option-D held down immediately after you hear the boot chimes, and the tests will download from Apple's servers.

  • Using 3d party tools for that:
