I bought 2 8gb ddr3 pc3-8500 1066mhz 204 pin ram sticks. My mac is the mid 2010 core duo version with updated 10.13 os highsierra so i would expect the ram to load and the mac to boot, but it didn't. It beeped 3 times. I reset the pram and reloaded the original ram and it works like it did. I'm wondering if something is wrong with the new ram or if it might be necessary to reset the scm(?) too? There seems to be small differences in the new ram versus the old aswell, worthy of note.
