Crash (Restart) during the game ( Use memory Slot-0)?

EN:

Problem: computer crash during the game.

RAM: 4 GB. x 2

Crash (restart): during heating (of the game 30-60 min.) and if you use the memory in slot-0.

Working fine: always if you use the memory in slot-1.

Tested changing memory modules in slot-0: 2 GB. (complete with plant), 4 GB. (bought) - the problem with the reboot when it is heated in games.

What's the problem? Slot-0 or the GPU?

RU:

Проблема: Перезагрузка компьютера во время игры.

RAM: 4 гб. x 2

Перезагружается: при нагреве (игры) и если используется память в slot-0.

Работает нормально: всегда если используется память в slot-1.

Тестировал меняя планки памяти в slot-0: 2 гб. (в комплекте с завода), 4 гб. (купил) - проблема с перезагрузкой при нагреве в играх.

В чем проблема? Slot-0 или GPU?

Either your Memory Card is loose or it is going bad. Try reseating them in tightly first. If that doesn't work then try swapping them and see if the error moves, if it does move to the other memory slot then the memory card in that slot is bad and needs replaced.

Tested the memory modules in the pair!

I have 4 memory modules: 2 GB. x 2 - family and 4 GB. x 2 - purchased). All of them are installed in slot-0 – causes the computer to restart only the warm up to video games! (The system can operate without incident in Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. – for a long time use).

Any of these memory modules installed in slot 1 – works great video games or system use! :(

If you can examine the memory card slot and see if there is any defect or any slight crack in the solder. If you know how to do it you might be able to re-flow the solder of the memory slot on the other side of the mother board. Being careful not to melt anything else off of the board. Or just use the one memory slot that works. Your choice.

check that slots again. and always use legitimate software and games as they are virus and spam free.

if u still have the problem then you can visit this apple support website apple-customer-service.co.uk

This is far from a fix or diagnosis, but I will suggest it as it has worked for me once in the past:

Sometimes in MacBook RAM slots, the tolerances between the RAM slot contacts and the RAM card itself become altered by overuse, etc. Graphite is an electrically conductive element, and so drawing on the RAM slot with a graphite pencil can sometimes help to mitigate issues from intermittently working electrical connections between the RAM and the motherboard.
