There's a whole issue here, and it's not necessarily cheap RAM, but RAM that is not up to the specs it's supposed to be. http://www.macintouch.com/firmwareramprob.html Most memory vendors are offering trade-ins, so you can get the right RAM. Find your invoice and email the place you got the RAM from.
