When the machine does “panic”, it won’t restart and gives the black screen with the 3 peeps. Since I tried new RAM sticks for the last MBP and it didn’t work, I’m hesitant to do it again. For what it’s worth, I have many sticks of RAM, and I’ve swapped them around and still the same thing occurs. Something I’m doing must be causing this to happen. So I started treating this like an investigation or an epidemiological study. So, I bought another used 2012 MBP, performed the same mods to it, ran like a top for about 6 months and then boom, kernel panic. Bought new RAM (Crucial or OWC), installed, same issues. Researched and found out it was a RAM issue. machine will freeze up - or sometimes restart itself). About a year and a half later, I start seeing kernel panics (crashes. I added 16GB DDR3 from Crucial, swapped out optical and HDD for SSDs. Purchased a used 2012 MBP back in 2015 when my MBP was stolen. Physical pressure/movement of RAM brings computer back from not starting up. 6 months later, Computer B displays same behavior. TLDR: x2 2012 era MBP's with aftermarket RAM & SSDs started experiencing kernel panics. I've been thinking about and dealing with this issue for over six months now and I'm stuck. ![]()
