Review on ๐Ÿ’ช High-performance Adamanta 32GB (2x16GB) Memory Upgrade for 2017 Apple iMac 27" Retina 5K Display - DDR4 2400MHz PC4-19200 SODIMM 2Rx8 CL17 1.2v Dual Rank RAM DRAM by Emmanuel Winschel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Crash and then complete failure. Removed Adamanta RAM and it works fine.

Adamant, you're getting reports of this RAM crash with Big Sur, seems to have started crashing around the time I first updated from Catalina. And the last 3 days have been constant troubleshooting and crashes (black screen, computer crashed immediately and almost every time I left and the computer went to sleep and then came back and it was still on but not responding with a black screen. Yesterday the screen was a bit green and I remembered this similar pattern (not the V-Card pattern) due to a RAM failure years ago.I pulled out the 16GB sticks and started with the original 8GB total ( 2x4) new and it worked great I was literally in the process of ordering a new computer now I'm wondering if I should order new RAM or is this a universal problem with Adamanta and Big Sur (or even all RAMs from Third-party vendors and Big Sur). Adamanta?
