since upgrading from 4gb to 8gb using the crucial kit i seem to have gone from a rock solid system to frequent kernel panics - probably 6 in the last 4 weeks, 2 of which have been today. anyone else experienced issues post-upgrade?
 
i've just reseated the memory so i'll keep an eye on it and take a closer look at the logs. worth registering a potential issue with crucial at this stage? it seems they will only offer a refund up to 45 days after purchase, after that you're stuck with warranty replacement...
 
this is a mid-2010. when i reseated the memory there was a tiny sliver of grey plastic on one of the contacts, gave the area a quick blow to get rid of any debris and re-seated it...and i know this sounds bloody stupid but since i've started using it again everything just seems much snappier. wondering if it just wasn't seated properly in the first place. fingers crossed!
 
nah, it had 2x 2gb in it, i upgraded to 2x 4gb so a complete swap for matching crucial sticks. i think the reseat might have sorted it, it's been rock solid since.
