Hi, I have a Mac Pro early 2008 (3.1) and just under 2 years ago I had to replace the RAM because the old ones did not work anymore, and now the new ones stop working one by one over the past few months. I had 32 and just 8 GB. So I can buy new ones again but maybe they will break also. Can anyone tell me what the cause is and what is the best I can do?
What are you running on your system gaming, photo or video editing? Heavy processing can push the system as a whole hard. RAM can be pushed to failure from heat. I’ve had to replace a few of our Mac Pro’s memory a few times (we have two of the older towers). The newer 2013 models seem to have less of a problem. I would recommend making sure the system is dusted out making sure the fans & heat sink fins are clean. You may want to get a good thermal monitoring app like TG Pro so you can watch whats happening in your system.
