Here is the hardware test: (it tests for a wide range of issues) It is even possible this is a hardware issue NOT related to the RAM or SSD, but I think this is even less likely. It is also possible there was an issue with the installation of the OS, or an issue with the SSD. My own experience is more with Crucial RAM, but Corsiar has a good reputation. However, if you call Corsiar and describe the problem, I imagine they would send you out a replacement promptly. The Apple Hardware Test and a 3rd party App like Rember will test the RAM. I agree that it is more likely a RAM problem.
Have any of you had similar issues? Do you think it's because i installed a 16gb RAM instead of the apple recommended 8gb? Or is this a corsair issue? Do you have any recommended RAM brands? OR do you think this is an hardware installing issue?Īny suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.

The SSD that was installed was the Samsung 850 EVO 250GB. I upgraded to a 16gb 1600 MHz Corsair memory kit that was specifically for Apple products.
